To top it all off, it was once the residence of artist Doris McCarthy who lived. to be 100 years old. I can appreciate Doris wanting to make her home at the top of the Scarborough Bluffs. It would be exhilarating living life on the edge. The above photo is my favourite image of my visit to Fool's Paradise.
