Maine Mushrooms

While we were walking the other day through the Maine woods we noticed all the different mushrooms. I decided I needed to start taking some pics of all the varieties. These were all taken on one walk! It is fun to see all the different kinds there are here!

Beautiful Scenes

While up here I have fallen in love all over again.  It has been 2 years since we trekked up to Maine.  So I forget just how beautiful this place is.  Here are a few pics to remind me as we head back to Texas….

More Lighthouse Fun

So after our morning at Owl’s Head we decided to run off to two other Light Houses.

Marshall point

First up was Marshall Point Light House – we love this one too, but do not make it here every year.

This is the light house Forest Gump ran to on the east coast.

Eagles {check}

What a thrill to see Eagles.  In. Real. Life.

I have never seen an eagle except for the zoo, but I have heard plenty about them from Betsy (Robert’s mom) and I was dying to see one!  I was so hoping that this would be the year!!

And it was!

I saw them the other night, but tonight I asked Robert to take me out on the boat (with my camera) to see if we can catch some pics!  So here is what I got….

We love the nature part of life up here in Maine!  So amazing to see God’s hand in so many ways!!

Another Day at Owl’s Head

We finally made it to Owl’s Head with Robert to play in the low tide!

We always enjoy our time at Owl’s Head.  We love to wander on the rocks and find all sorts of animals living in the tide pools and under the rocks!

It was a foggy day at Owl’s Head – we did not seem to mind too much.

foggy way to OH

We found a red sea urchin this day, a green star fish, and a 4 legged star fish growing back its other leg.  We always enjoy finding cool stuff and taking lots of pictures too!!

 

More to come…..
