The Tranquil Hour in Acadia

Arrived home last night...just in time to capture the end of the 'tranquil hour'

“When the day changed …………..
… Settled to rest, and for a tranquil hour
The lengthening bluish shadows on the snow
…………..Flooded the earth with beauty and with peace.”
Quotes from the Poem: The Winter Scene by Bliss Carman

A Visitor "With an Eye that Fires and a Spell that Charms"

We had a magestic vistor in our cove on Long Pond this AM... (sorry we could not get a close up shot)


The Eagle (by James Gates Percival)
Bird of the broad and sweeping wing
Thy home is high in heaven,
Where wide the storms their banners fling,
And the tempest clouds are driven.
Thy throne is on the mountain top;
Thy fields---the boundless air;
And hoary peaks that proudly prop
The skies, thy dwellings are.

This is how I imagine him this AM...circling our cove, looking for his breakfast

"My prey I seek with piercing eye,

grasp with talon strong.

Then lift into the endless sky

to sing my victory song."

(Don R. Wilkins)

"With an eye that fires, and a spell that charms " (James Gates Percival)

Wise Trees Sleeping in the Cold

Winter Trees
Poem By William Carlos Williams 1883–1963 

All the complicated details

of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!

A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.

Thus having prepared their buds

against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.

(Thank you, artist Gail Ribas for sharing your painting

So Thankful for Our Piece of Maine

Watching the sunset tonight....was like watching Mother Nature photo-shopping the sky...

Almost as soon as our cameras clicked, new colors and deeper shades appeared on the horizon!

We are so grateful for our spot on Long Pond in Acadia National Park....

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

"Oh the Places You'll go and the People You'll Meet"

What a great event at the Somesville Village Library this AM...
"Oh the places you'll go"(Dr. Seuss)

Our Little Library on Somes Harbor

A fabulous and fun Dr. Seuss Costume party and  free children's program... (click link for photo album)

("who says we can't carry on the fun of Halloween just a little bit longer")

The Library's Children's Program director, Jen Wales and helpers put together a wonderful collection of books from one of our favorite authors along with crafts, activities and of course- unusually colored snacks.

Many thanks to the staff , library board trustees...and volunteers....and to the many young families who attended the event. ("and the People You'll Meet")...

"You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.

You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead."

"You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!"

"Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best."

"And will you succeed?Yes! You will, indeed!"

"And when things start to happen,don't worry.

Don't stew.Just go right along.You'll start happening too."

"Kid, You'll Move Mountains"

"There is fun to be done!

There are points to be scored.

there are games to be won."

"Wherever you go, you will top all the rest."

"With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,

you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street."

"You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing".

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes....
You can steer yourself any direction you choose"
