"Majestic and Magnificent !

Could it get any better than this?

M & M Morning in Maine

Another Magical, Mystical Morning in Maine!


"The fog comes on little cat feet.
It sits looking over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on. "
Carl Sandburg


Thank you artist Gail Ribas, for capturing the beauty of 'Bass Harbor Fog' in Acadia National Park
"Magical & Mystical"? "Miserable & Moist"? ....uummhh.....
Sometimes hard to 'always look on the bright side of life' !...

(Thanks, Cindy for the Spamalot experience....Great fun!!)

"If you can't change the things you see, then change the way you see things"
(Maybe it's time for a "peptalk"??)
(Thanks, John Jenkins, for the words of wisdom!)

Bar Harbor Maine, "My Home Sweet Home"

I'm Proud to be an American. (Love the song by Lee Greenwood:"God Bless the USA")

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "

I was doing a google search and discovered that the unofficial national anthem of the United States was composed by an immigrant who left his home in Siberia for the USA when he was only five years old. The original version of "God Bless America" was written by Irving Berlin (1888-1989) during the summer of 1918 (Thank you, Irving Berlin for these inspiring words and for sharing your incredible talent).

And..Thank you, Artist Gail Ribas, for sharing your incredible talent! I LOVE your paintings and value your friendship!

Happy 4th of July....Hope our paths cross during the day at the Bar Harbor Festivities! (My Home Sweet Home)
"God Bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America,
My home sweet home. "

Spirits and the Scent of Healing Herbs

Summers in Maine...

Mist
Low-anchored cloud, Newfoundland air, (Maine air?) Fountain head and source of rivers, Dew-cloth, dream drapery, And napkin spread by fays; Drifting meadow of the air, Where bloom the dasied banks and violets, And in whose fenny labyrinth The bittern booms and heron wades; Spirit of the lake and seas and rivers, Bear only purfumes and the scent Of healing herbs to just men's fields! Henry David Thoreau

Thank you, Gail Ribas, for sharing your Painting.

Baby Loons and Lupine

I heard that we had a successful hatching of a baby Loon in my cove on Long Pond.
(successful hatchings are rare on Mt.Desert Island.)


When I'm out on the boat, I'll try to get a picture of the wee one cruising in the cove on it's mother's back.



Loons and Lupine!...Love this time of year in Acadia National Park!

How can a plant that is considered invasive be so beautiful ?...I hope my neighbor's plants (see photo) INVADE my office lot next door!

"Birds of a Feather 'Tweet' Together"

I was posting a Tweet on Twitter and thought of the corny phrase...Do 'birds of a feather 'tweet' together?'... guess the hashtag #twitterqueens got my wheels turning.

Did a little research...and ...well..you know how it goes when you are Googling......One thing lead to another and I discovered a 'twictionary'..What a hoot!...Good for a few chuckles on a rainy 'ol day ....

I need to learn some 'twits' and 'twetiquette'...Time to 'fly bye' and start studying. "So much to learn, so little time"!....

PS: For you 'tourist tweeters' who want FREE internet access, the Somesville Library just received a generous gift of 5 computers. (Thank you , Trustee Paige Collins for obtaining the latops for us. "We get by with a little help from our friends" )
