That's My Girl!





She has never been afraid of animals and wildlife She's pet all sorts of animals from a young age and they seem drawn to her The wildlife of Maine is no exception
(life without punctuation, other than commas and exclamation marks, is not fun!)

Peeks of Peaks: Part Two




This is one of my favorite sides of the island. Driving along the perimeter of the island, you approach a curve and all of these wonderful stone sculptures start emerging from the landscape. We have seen these sculptures every year we have visited the island and it seems that each time the number increases. I was unable to walk down to see them up close since my ankle is most sensitive to walking on uneven surfaces so Jeff and the kids walked down to view them at a closer range. The last two photos are Jeff's.

Peeks of Peaks: Part One





The day we left we stayed on the island to do the Peaks Island art walk. We viewed pottery, stone sculpture, photography and the wonderful illustrations and sculpture of Tim Nihoff. My children poured over his sketchbooks and Jonah even purchased some of his postcards with his own money. His illustrations are quite whimsical. He even had chalkboards mounted to the outside of his house for kids to draw on.

Jonah's comments to him, "You draw good faces!" Gotta love kids.
