Maine in August: The Way Life Should Be

       
The Way Life Should Be

     Maine's state slogan (above) is reflected in the photos (below).
Enjoy these pictures, taken during an August 2016 excursion on the Maine coast:


Portland Head Light—the most photographed lighthouse in America—on Casco
Bay at the entrance to Portland Harbor.

Portland's Casco Bay, home to lighthouses, schooners, and... 

...lobster boats.  A lobsterman sets his traps in Casco Bay.

Kayaks for rent on Bailey's Island.

Five Islands Harbor, Georgetown, Maine.

A lobster boat motors in to Five Islands with its catch.

There's a lobster shack on every cove.

The marsh near Wells is home to Billy's Chowder House.
And Billy's is home to the delicious "lazy lobster" dinner.

Life isn't just all about lobster, you know.
How about doughnuts?  The Holy Donut in Portland is one of Maine's delectable donut shops.

A lobster, a doughnut and a cup of coffee.
What's not to like?

Ahhhh.  August on Maine's mid-coast.
