How the top 1% live in Maine where they get a view of the harbor at Bar Harbor, Maine.
A not very good photo of the red fox that was intrigued by the sound of children laughing and chasing in the nearby playground.
A public beach in Maine. Water in the ocean was still pretty cool!
This view in the photo above is from the highest point in Acadia looking back toward the town of Bar Harbor.
And we never were hungry as blueberries were in abundance wherever the soil was boggy enough!
Blueberries! I bet those tasted good. A friend of ours is moving to Bar Harbor next month. He's getting a job at Jackson Lab there, where they supply lab mice to scientists. Like the Rats of NIMH or something; anyway he's quite excited.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful part of the country that I've yet to visit.
ReplyDeletei've never seen a fox in real life yet. great place and great photos!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place. I have never been north of Connecticut.
ReplyDelete(other than Canada)
ReplyDeleteah, these are wonderful! and it looks like you had good weather! was the valerian in bloom - everywhere?? i am headed through this area next week - and then farther north up route 1! isn't it a beautiful part of the world?
ReplyDeleteI loved the coast of Maine when we visited many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe have wild blueberries here in the Northwest too, but we call ours huckleberries.
Maine is one place I would love to visit!! And those beaches...oh my

When I went swimming in Falmouth ME harbor (further South) as a teen, I remember freezing at water temps of about 48 degrees- Wet suits help! Also most of the ocean shoreline up there is pretty rocky. That's a good beach there. Think I was there when I was 10.
ReplyDeleteI like your Red Fox pic, because that looks like the Maine I remember. Full of undeveloped areas... My cam wouldn't have been as clear.
Gorgeous harbor pic! Free blueberries, lucky you! I bought some today- I didn't pic any on my trip last week, because you have to watch out for the bears. I put up just a couple more of where I went.
We don't have access to free blueberries but we do have a grower in our area who sells you a bucket and you can go pick all the blueberries you want. Needles to day that hasn't happened these past two dry years.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the tour. I tried growing a blueberry bush several times and before I could pick the birds dined on them...
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, such a nice open area and beach! Thanks for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never been that far north, just another place to add to the list...

ReplyDeleteThank you, Tabor. I love the scope of your photographs. You have captured the sunshine and spirit I’ve only read about.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the lobster??
ReplyDeleteThere's only one good use for beach water that cold.
Lobster, corn on the cob, and blueberry pie. That is New England summer.
I was too busy shoving the lobster into my mouth to take a photo!!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely. What a magic place. No wonder folks love it.
ReplyDeleteRYN: It should have been meditation. LOL There's a book on it. Book triage. That's me. We are supposed to be a high end thrift store, so I cull for worn, bend, ripped or torn, dust, mold, high acid pages, and badly worn boards. Then again, I kept two large format children's books yesterday that violated all those rules. They were from the late 1800's, with tipped in illustrations, and other little magics. They sold the first hour I put them out. Here at the beach, moldy books are a major things especially when old folks don't take care of things any more.
We picked wild blueberries on the Cape with my grandmother and called Bar Harbor "Bah Hahba."
ReplyDeleteThat area has a clean, lovely and natural look.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the photos. I read a lot about the Maine of the 1970s in the journals of May Sarton. It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your account and photos. I'm reminded of a driving trip to view fall colors we took from Mass. up the coast through Maine many years ago. I've often thought of taking such a trip again, but maybe the memory will suffice and trips on my west coast are more logical.
