Monhegan: Afternoon Shadows

A photo snapped on the way back to the Island Inn (Monhegan, ME) after time spent walking around taking photos. Great shadows in the road. On your left is the wonderful flower garden I post many photos from, hard to tell in this photo, but trust me… gorgeous!

Stan Moeller Workshop – Island Inn, Monhegan

As many of you know, Monhegan Island is full of artists. Easels set up everywhere, paintings being created left and right. It’s amazing the talent on one small island.

Stan Moeller was giving a workshop and in the photo above they were painting on the lawn. This was a tricky week with a lot of fog, should make for some cool paintings!

Stan Moeller was the featured artist this year in the Island Inn dining room – very nice. Check out the Lupine Gallery for more work (click HERE to view paintings).

Flower Power – Monhegan

Monhegan. A beautiful island in Maine located about 10 miles off the coast. This island is so special. The only trucks you see are working trucks (deliveries, etc.) – everyone else is on foot. There is so much history on this island and the amount of talent is immeasurable.

Monhegan is also home to the most beautiful flowers. Everywhere. Gorgeous!

A Quintessential Maine Cottage

A quintessential Maine cottage. I love the white picket fence with the beautiful flowers blooming like crazy. This cape style home is a beauty and is situated on the most magnificent island ever. You may have heard me speak of it…?? (HA) – Monhegan!

Oh to be a flower on Monhegan!

Oh to be a flower on Monhegan – with all the adoring fans constantly walking by shouting words of praise and whipping out their cameras/phones for a quick, yet exceptional photo.

I’ve always loved nasturtiums – my mom usually has a little vase of them on the kitchen counter. So pretty!

Looks like fire in the sky – Monhegan!

We see the most spectacular sunsets when we’re in Maine. We see them here in Charleston as well, but it just seems like they are over the top when on vacation. Sunset usually occurs while we are having dinner in the Island Inn dining room. I usually make quick run to the porch for a few photos and try to get back before I’m missed. How can you NOT take a photo? The sky is so wild and vibrant. Wow!

These beautiful sunrises and sunsets are proof that life is full of magic.

Monhegan Boat “Laura B” as seen from Marshall Point Lighthouse

Monhegan Boat Line. Love them. They have two fabulous boats, Laura B (pictured here heading back to Port Clyde from Monhegan), and Elizabeth Ann, a larger boat.

It seems that we usually take the Elizabeth Ann on our way to the island and the Laura B on the way back to Port Clyde. Both are wonderful – the crew – and everyone who works at Monhegan Boat Lines is fabulous!

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Monhegan Boat Line, Port Clyde, Maine

Monhegan Boat Line – Port Clyde, Maine

A photo through a window – of the Elizabeth Ann headed back to Port Clyde from Monhegan, Maine. Monhegan Boat Line makes sure the trip is always an adventure – Monhegan is about 10 miles from the mainland. The Elizabeth Ann takes about 50 minutes. We have taken different routes over the years depending upon wind, weather, etc. It’s always fascinating!

The Rockwell Kent – James Fitzgerald Studio – Monhegan, Maine

There is something magical about the Fitzgerald Studio on Monhegan, Maine. This studio was originally owned by Rockwell Kent (read more about it HERE)!

I could easily live in this small studio – the windows that open out are pure heaven! I love the beautiful paintings and some of the artists items sitting around the studio as noted in this photo. If you ever get the chance to visit Monhegan, be sure to visit the museum and the Fitzgerald Studio!

View from Port Clyde, Maine

Such a crisp scene. Not crisp as in cold, but the striking darkness of the horizon against that gorgeous sunset. Love those few stray clouds drifting by. So serene. This photo was taken in Port Clyde, Maine a few years ago…

The Barnacle – Monhegan, Maine

Ah! The Barnacle – love this place. Great food, cool gifts, nice wine and bakery goods. The Barnacle is a part of the Island Inn and it’s a treasure. It’s located right near the Monhegan wharf. We have met some really interesting people inside including one woman who demanded that we play some game with her that lasted hours and we kept trying to get away, but then found out she was killing time because she didn’t want to “do Monhegan”, she wanted to go back to her condo in Camden, sigh… #dontknowwhatyouremissing #notv #nophone #nostress #thatgamewasstressful

Reflections: Tenants Harbor, Maine

Tenants Harbor, Maine

Just look at this water – it’s like glass, which really made the reflections stand out even more. I took this photo several years ago – I remember walking around Tenants Harbor, near the East Wind Inn. We had dinner reservations and arrived early, so I was able to get some amazing photos before dinner. Woohoo!

Enjoy your Saturday and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!

Monhegan (Maine) Sky!

Pretty cool clouds, hmmm?  I love a sky full of cool clouds. These had wonderful movement and the scene changed quickly. Are you a sky gazer? Do you love looking up to the sky and taking it all in? It’s so relaxing!
