Cruising along U.S. Route 1 to Ellsworth this weekend I finally stopped to snap a picture of this tiny island. Every drive by, I admire this little island in Sullivan Harbor with a backdrop of Cadillac Mountain in the distance. During low tide it appears as if it’s...

The 40-minute drive to Ellsworth (the closest town with a stoplight) takes us along U.S. Route 1. There is a stretch in Sullivan where you can see Mount Desert Island across Frenchman’s Bay. It’s the money shot that never fails to capture my attention as I...

With the end of the weekend, so went the hot and humid conditions. Rarely do we endure such uncomfortable weather as we have the last four days. Summer along the Maine coast usually means warm days and comfortable nights. We don’t have air conditioning, just...

It was a gorgeous weekend. Sunshine, seventies, and cool breezes. Picture perfect.

Pictures from Route 9 also known as the Airline Road from a couple of weeks ago. At certain points along the way the vistas are stunning.

Pictures like this are the payoff for wearing a camera around my neck as if it were a necklace. A little cumbersome, but worth the results!

Don’t you just want to snuggle her up and take a snooze?

This view of the Machias River in Whitneyville, Maine is responsible for me being late to work today. It was simply stunning. I all but stopped on the bridge to look at the view. I continued on, then I stopped and turned around and went back. I parked the car in the...

Almost a week after I put up my Dinky Bird Feeders, I have Dinky Birds! The picture above was shot from my kitchen window. So far it’s only Chickadees at the feeders and they’ve been busy. Looking at this Chickadee lifting off almost makes me feel what it...

The view at 6:30 a.m. was so beautiful I couldn’t help but stop to take a picture of the setting moon. A fitting way to say farewell to 2012.

Hannah isn’t much into photography. She’d just as soon look through binoculars as take photos. I think she’s got a good eye for it. She took this picture in July on Isle au Haut – with a disposable Fujifilm instamatic!

Homecation Day 8. It was a gorgeous day so we packed a picnic and took it to the Schoodic Peninsula which is part of Acadia National Park where we were on Day 6. The entrance to Schoodic is in Winter Harbor – about 30 minutes from home. (Click on images for a...

Day six of my homecation took us to Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park. Paul agreed to come with Hannah and I because I promised no forced marches – just a nice drive. What he didn’t anticipate was me having him pull over at every single overlook to...

This time of year the blueberry barrens in Downeast Maine become a sea of blue. The normally quiet countryside becomes a flurry of activity as the harvest comes in. Harvested by machine where possible, or painstakingly raked by hand. Everywhere you look, blueberries...

It’s been a weekend full of puttering – a little weeding, a little landscaping around the pond, a little planting of new lettuce, spinach and kale. A little photography along the way. The Colonel ever watchful over his flock. Quackers checking out the...
