Good Things Come in Small Packages

This tiny deer , Little Rupert ,was delivered by Caesarean section at a wildlife hospital after
his mother was killed by a car.




Please be careful when you are driving
on the Maine Roads.
As the weather gets cooler,
the deer are 'out and about'
looking for food.
They feed between dawn and dusk
(and especially love apples).

Wind Surfing with the Eagles

A stormy morning on the coast of Maine.

I wonder if the local ducks and loons are hovering by the Somesville Bridge

or congregating by the Mill Pond Dam.

for when the storm clouds come in,

the Eagles soar while the small birds take cover”

"In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous. "- Aristotle

When I looked out my dining room window last night, it 'soothed my soul'.

Fall Foliage in Acadia...Could it get any

better than this?

A Lone Loon and the Full Moon

The lone loon that hangs out in our cove was feeling pretty frisky this evening!

**Wonder if he's looking for a date?

Ever wonder about the full moon making people looney?

A lot of people base a full Moon as a probability of success, and a time where people buy and sell stocks and also make decisions about other investments, such as real estate.

If you're feeling looney, and anxious to make a decision, I will be happy to help you find your "PEACE' of Maine ;)

(Gail , Thank you for letting me insert your loon painting in the corner of the photo that I took this evening in our quiet cove on Long Pond.)

Many thanks to the volunteers, interns, and financial supporters of the loon study program at the Somes Meynell Wildlife Sanctuary on Somes Pond.

**It is believed that loons mate for life. How awesome !

I hope that my bachelor loon soon finds his soul mate!

What a difference a day makes

What's the difference between a bad hair cut and a good one?

About a WEEK!

(I can't take credit for that comment...but "how true it is" !!)

When Autumn Leaves Start to Fall

As I was walking in our historic village, admiring the beautiful Fall Foliage, I remembered how much fun we had as kids, ironing Fall leaves, hoping to preserve their beauty. We used to pick our favorite ones, place the leaves between 2 pieces of wax paper ...and then iron them until the wax melted. Of course, it probably also melted to the bottom of the iron and all over the ironing board cover!

If I remember correctly, we attempted to dry the leaves with paper towel first.. (kids today would probably dry them in the microwave)...then we placed them in-between two sheets of waxed paper, waxy side against the leaves. We ironed them for a minute or so, until the leaves were coated with wax. ..then peeled off the paper and admired the end results.
