Sandy Point Beach

Sandy Point Beach, Cousins Island – Yarmouth, ME

Maine / Megan

At this point, you could still see the mainland from this point just over the bridge onto Cousins Island.   By the time we drove back, you couldn’t see that far.

Fels-Grove Farm Preserve – Yarmouth, ME

Maine / Megan

These pictures are from yesterday, and I feel like they should be subtitled “Descent into the Fog”.   You can see it coming in here, where we’re still on the mainland, but it keeps going in the next two posts, which are both on islands.   It was hilarious driving home as we were going in and

Kennebunk Plains Preserve

Kennebunk Plains Preserve – Kennebunk, ME

Maine / Megan

Today’s walk was the Kennebunk Plains Preserve, whose major claim to fame is that it’s in the sand plain that’s home to the largest single population of Northern Blazing Star (Liatris novae-angliae) in the world.   There’s also pine barrens, and wild blueberries to pick (in August at least) – a good walk all around.

Mackworth Island State Park

Mackworth Island State Park – Falmouth, ME

Maine / Megan

It’s been hot, but it’s also been crazy humid (like dew points in the 70s for extended periods of time crazy humid).     This trip to Mackworth was on the 7th (while my sister and M were here), and the mushrooms had just exploded.     There were sizes and colors I had never seen before.

We’re back to 70 degree dew points again.    Which means there’s fog.   So much fog.

Mast Landing Sanctuary – Freeport, ME

Maine / Megan

It was not a good winter for trees – we decided to check out this sanctuary for the first time on Saturday, and on everything single trail eventually it got to the point where it was blocked by several downed trees.   And I’m sure they never budget for that amount of clean up, so it’s
