Life in Maine

Being up early one morning I was greeted but this magnificent sunrise.  There will be more sunrise and sunsets as this tale unfolds.  Georges Pond is between the towns of Ellsworth and Bar Harbor which is on Mount Desert Island.  This is also the location of Acadia National Park.

The following pictures are just to show some of the changing conditions in the national park.

On another day we drove into the town of Ellsworth, pictured below, for a chowder festival.  A number of restaurants and locals present their best clam chowder for sampling.  Not only clam chowder was served but lobster, shrimp, and fish.  Needless to say our tummies were full.

In addition to the chowder their were drawings, boat rides and a great band.  This was our first experience with this type of gathering and we look forward to more.

During the next few day we traveled to a number of Lighthouses.  I have included

signs to give them their names for all but the last one below.  This last lighthouse is the Ft. Point Light and is a private residence.

The following pictures were taken during walks in the forest near Georges Pond with the following exception.  The sail boat is on Penobscot Bay just off the point of Fort Knox.
