Portland Harbor Lighthouse

Lighthouses-Part 1

Portland Harbor Lighthouse Jim and I stopped by one beautiful spring day and I took a series of still photos. Later, I composited them into this dreamy video. If you get the chance and the weather is nice...stop by.

Merriment Abounds at the Winter Solstice!

Greetings of the season. Be Well and at Peace with the World.

Aerial Views

These are fun to look at. Ben Magro took these photos from his helicopter a few years ago. He held the camera too. You can see each of the cottages. The depth of the water along the oceanfront is what is fascinating from this vantage point.

The Special Passenger on the Mail Boat to Isle au Haut, Maine

If the mail boat could talk it would tell you of the time Al tried to coax

his new cow down the prickly ramp and onto the boat to take her to his home

on Isle au Haut.   Why not a cow when so many sheep and other critters had

taken the boat ride to the island?  But the cow pulled loose from Al's hold

and ran down Stonington's Main Street in protest. 

Today, however, under the kind watch of the boat's Captain Josh, it's a little dachshund, quivering

with fear as she travels bravely alone to be reunited with her family.  She's eager to get her sea legs on firm ground. There is also another kind passenger on the boat. She comforts the soft furred, quivering little puppy until soothed the puppy rests her head on the lap of her new friend. Finally, reaching the town landing in Isle au Haut a great reunion occurs with much tail wagging and happiness. Her familiar family is there to greet her.

What more great adventures will be had by this little dachshund? And, who will befriend her in her travels?
