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. |
Hi Rita,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories! Your blog undoubtedly does justice to the beauty of Maine’s beautiful coastal areas. My wife and I have many fond memories of vacations spent along the coast of Maine, especially in Camden/Rockport and Ogunquit, and the Portland area as well.
Happy travels to you and Tim.
John
Hi John!
DeleteI'm happy this post brought back fond memories for you! The Maine coast is beautiful and it really helped that the weather was spectacular during the week I was there.
Thanks for your comments!
