Lilacs

The Lilac Festival, McLaughlin Garden – South Paris, ME

1 Comment / Maine / Megan

What I love about the Lilac Festival is that you go expecting lilacs (and boy do they deliver), but there are also just so many lovely spring wildflowers.     This is probably my favorite spring garden in Maine.    I brought my mother for a belated Mother’s Day outing, and we had a lovely

Ibis and egret

Scarborough Marsh – Scarborough, ME

Maine / Megan

This was Sunday’s walk.     It’s looking a heck of a lot more marshy than during last year’s dry summer.    We’ll have to see how that works out this year.

Only a few photos from the sunny day, because of my lord the black flies!   I am so glad they don’t live on the coast.

Night Sky from Donnell Pond

Donnell Pond Stars – Franklin, ME

Maine / Megan

One of the joys of being that far out of town is the lack of light pollution.   I finally had a chance to try my starry skies setting on my camera.     I forgot my tripod (well, BF’s tripod), so the best shots were definitely the ones I had laying on the deck

It poured on our way up last Sunday to Ellsworth, and the next day started rainy.    Not a bad day to spend hanging out at camp.    It even dried out a bit late in the afternoon so I could snap some pictures before the black flies came back out.

Squill

Hamilton House – South Berwick, ME

Maine / Megan

This is the earliest we’ve ever stopped by Hamilton House, and I was delighted to find that there are blue squill and grape hyacinth (my two favorite Spring garden flowers) naturalized down the slopes toward the Salmon River.     I cannot tell you how happy it made me to see all that blue. The
