Photos from Maine
As I’d mentioned previously, my husband and I went on a ten day vacation to my home state of Maine in mid-July. I’ve been going through the photographs – I’ve been working on them all morning, in fact, and haven’t even scratched the surface of what I’ve taken. So, I thought I would take a break and share some of them with you all.
This is the king room that we inhabited, on the 13th floor of the Eastland Park Hotel in Portland. Very comfortable, with great views of the city.

One of the first things we did was some coastal exploring, with a trip down Harpswell way, and lunch on Bailey Island at Cooks Lobster House. Here is the absolutely necessary lobster roll, with a bite already taken out of it. Excellent coleslaw, too.

Here’s a shot of the Old Port at night. A very happening and busy place at the height of the summer season!

Here is a little fishing village near Harpswell. Places like this were absolutely everywhere, and we must have stopped and photographed a dozen of them.

This is the Custom House Wharf, in the Old Port. I seem to take a picture of this scene every time I go home.

I’m going to have to wax ecstatic for a moment, here. This is a shot of the bar at Bull Feeney’s, on Fore Street in the Old Port. Easily one of the most beautiful establishments I’ve ever been in. I couldn’t stop taking pictures. I wanted to move in there. Old wood, fabulous lighting, and boasting a Scotch menu the largest seen outside of Scotland. If you’re in the area, you MUST stop by.

Last but not least, here is the inevitable shot of the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth. Another scene I photograph every time we go home. This time I was lucky with my timing, and got a sailboat into the shot. A lovely, hot day.

These photos just scratch the surface of everything we did and everywhere we went. You’ll probably have to suffer through more vacation photos in the near future!
