I spent a rather raw Saturday morning Down East, getting my first look at the camp my father and C are building on Donnell Pond (in the romantically named T9-SD Township). This is not a beach vacation spot, it’s built on the slope of a glacial drop, with an absolutely fascinating array of boulders strewn […]

A couple of extremely out of the ordinary 80 degree days have brought the flowers out early around here. It’s lovely, if a bit strange.
A year ago today exactly, I did my first trip of the season to Crescent Beach State Park. The park doesn’t officially open until Memorial Day, so I’d parked out on the road, and trekked in, over an access road that was still almost fully snow covered in the shadier parts. I was bundled up

I took a walk by the sea in a short sleeved shirt, and the sea breeze was warm. I find it extremely hard to believe we’ll be back in 30s next week…

It’s been an absolutely lovely weekend. Temps are in the 50s (or more in the south), and it’s sunny, without a lot of wind. We wandered our way south yesterday, and had the first Flo’s hot dogs of the season before ending up in Hampton Beach, NH. Our initial motivation was a bit of looky-lou-itis

Sunset from the parking lot as I left work. While I don’t love that this was taken at 4:30, I love that I was there to see it.
Somewhat to my chagrin, I finally made it out to Mackworth Island, for the first time this year. I’ve therefore missed the flowers and the warm breezes, but it’s still lovely out there in the Fall, and today was an extremely lovely day. I should preface my remarks about the above pictures by mentioning how

We had a friend visiting us from England this past week, and decided that since we had a few days off, we’d bring her up to Acadia National Park and show her the sights. Day 1 of our trip ended up being very fogged in on the island, but it had a definite quiet beauty
I went to the Beach today. (As point of reference, my beach with a capitol B is Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth, which is, and always will be the epitome of beachiness to me.) This is normally not a statement of much import, but the last time I was at the Beach was a blustery
