We almost didn’t go to the Botanical Garden. The palm house is being restored, and it was too early in the season for their to be very much outside, right? But we ran into a cold and rainy day, and decided to chance the palm house. While it is being worked on, it is still […]

Surf from Hurricane Erin at Two Lights State Park

Two Lights State Park – Cape Elizabeth, ME

Leave a Comment / Maine / Megan

The remnants of hurricane Erin passed offshore this week – these pictures are about two hours before high tide. She’s no longer a hurricane, and is hundreds of miles away at this point, but still pretty impressive. We could feel the spray up on the path.

Winterberry

Two Lights State Park – Cape Elizabeth, ME
