Home from Maine

One of the best things  we did on this trip was to walk around Little Long Pond, an area that used to be the Rockefellers' private estate but is now open to the public. We watched a whole family of loons diving together, although between the distance and the fog this was best picture I got.

View of the pond.

And of the lovely stream we followed for about a mile.

Amazing mushrooms in this rainy year.

Wednesday my son Ben and I kayaked over to a rocky islet called Folly Island. In a shallow spot along the landward side of the islet we saw lots of life, including a small eel, several small fish, and numerous hermit crabs.

Fascinating rocks on Folly Island, a shattered record of earth's cataclysmic past. With a bit of orange lichen.

Farewell view from Acadia Mountain.
