Beautiful Maine

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

In my quest for organization around here I have been going through lots of pictures. I came across these post cards that I picked up who knows where or who knows when, but they are so pretty and they show off at least part of our beautiful state so well that I wanted to share them with you.

Growing up in a small town of about 400 there wasn't much to do for a kid to earn any money but each summer we raked blueberries and used the money for new school clothes. It was hard work but we liked it as it was out in the sunshine on a beautiful farm way down at the end of a dirt road.

There are may harbors along the coast with boats like the ones you see here. Some are for lobstering, scalloping and fishing. There is fresh seafood in abundance here, the best in the world as far as I am concerned but I guess I would be a bit predudiced!

There are lots of puffins in Maine on the coast. They are beautiful birds and quite comical to watch.

There are many lighthouses!

They call it The Rocky Coast Of Maine for a reason as you can see. We do have beaches also but most of the coast is very rocky.

This is Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park. The way the waves come in here in makes a big booming sound like thunder. It is one of the popular sights in the park. If you stand too close you get soaked!




Nothing compares to the beauty of the coast of Maine in the fall of the year. The foliage is amazing with the reds, orange and green.

Another lighthouse. I wish I could say that I have been to them all but I haven't yet.

There are so many places to buy fresh seafood. Lots of people buy it right off the boats when the fishermen come in for the day.

The tide is out in this shot. Just one of the many old building along the coast that are so interesting and have so much character. A photographers dream come true!

I also found this picture of our lovely show mare Joe's Ginger Snap. We were in a trail class in this picture. She really excelled in Trail and I showed her in it often. I told Jen over at Copenhagen Kisses that I would put in a picture of me in chaps.......this was taken 137 gazillion years ago. I shudder to think if I had to try to get into them now!!! snicker, snicker!

T came over today and was playing out in the playhouse after school for a while with Noodles by her side. They are quite a pair.

I was out with them getting some pictures of the chickadees. I love chickadees, they are my favorite bird with their little black cap and tiny little beak. They sure go through a lot of seed each day, I don't know where they put it all as they don't take it and store it like some of the birds, they just eat and eat.

Again I hope you all have a nice Valentine's Day! Eat a few extra chocolates for me and my hips will thank you!! :o)
