I love road trips

My husband and I are headed to Maine for a long-awaited week’s vacation. Oh yes, and you can bet that George will be with us. Maine is one of his favorite places to visit. The cottage we rented has no internet service, so this will be the last post for a week.

I think I’m really going to miss you.

But I’m planning on having a wonderful time. I’m going to be meeting up with Lili, whose blog, {Fearless Nesting}, I’ve been reading for a couple of years.

Here’s a couple of photos from last year’s trip.





View from the car window while descending Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park.





The view from the front lawn of the rental house. The same mountain that you see above is in the clouds there on the right. I loved the house where we stayed and you can see photos of it here:

I had never before used a kayak and discovered something I now love. I need to do it more.





Jordan Pond and The Bubbles.

If you’re thinking that they look like something familiar, you’re absolutely correct.

I’m hoping that the place we rented is going to be a good one. You never know until you get there, you know - but even if it’s not – hey, we’ll still be in Maine.

And meanwhile, back at the ranch . . .





My husband shot this yesterday evening. We’re going to miss the little hummingbirds while we’re away.

Speaking of which, blogging friend Ellen sent me a link to an interesting video taken by a photographer who noticed that the migrating hummingbirds seemed to be attracted to the red stripe running along his camera strap. He decided to try a little experiment and the results are amazing.

See you next week, everyone ~
