From the Photo Archives: Monhegan Trail
From the photo archives, circa 2007 – Monhegan Trail…
The trails on Monhegan are so fabulous, volunteers work hard to keep them nice. So when you get off the island and see a map for sale, buy one, support the local businesses while you’re there. Something this fabulous deserves to be around forever and ever.
Remember to leave no trace – take everything you brought with you. The logistics of trash removal (for residents and businesses) on the island boggle the mind and the pocketbook!

Flag Day!
Happy Flag Day!
This photo was taken on the Elizabeth Ann from Monhegan Boat Line (we have always taken Elizabeth Ann on the way to Monhegan and Laura B on the return, both are such cool boats)! Monhegan Boat Line is located in Port Clyde, Maine – a place that is near and dear to our hearts. The nicest people, with a sense of humor, which is so appreciated. They also have a cool gift shop, don’t pass it up!

Uncle Henry’s and the Sunflower – Monhegan, ME
I think I took a photo of this scene each time I walked by it. Sometimes foggy, in sun, in shade, early, late, wind blowing, wind still… this scene mesmerizes me. Uncle Henry’s in the background, a very cool cottage near the wharf. The two adirondack chairs are perfectly placed to see everything that is going on. I love this place!

Monhegan Island, Maine at Sunset
This photo was taken early fall last year. Almost every night there was a beautiful sunset. These breathtaking scenes just happened to be at the time of our dinner reservation each night. Thankfully Fred is understanding while I run out and snap “a few” photos. I think we need to make a reservation after sunset, because when there is a sunset like this it is so awe inspiring you can’t help but to be captivated by it and to feel so utterly blessed to be in such a magnificent place, especially when you can share your love of this place with those you love.

A burst of sunshine!
This is such a happy photo. The vivid yellow sunflower against the spacious blue sky is like a burst of sunshine. Mother Nature is quite the artist, isn’t she?

Monhegan Buoys…
Dynamic colors and a unique perspective always create an interesting photo. The great greens against that gorgeous blue sky, wow! The texture from the buoys, as well as the light and shadows makes this photo sing!

Flashback: Island Inn Monhegan – Lunch in the Dining Room…
Posting a few *Flashback* photos of lunch at the Island Inn dining room from 2015. I can tell you that each and every meal at the inn was a treat. The fish tacos were outstanding! And the iced tea, ahhhh… the iced tea is fabulous!
And… the Maine lobster roll was so extremely fresh, I believe it just crawled off the boat! Not full of mayo like many Lobster Rolls. Just delicious!
I’m not sure of this year’s menu, but whatever they come up with you know it will be good! In past years we have had lunch at the Barnacle, by the wharf. That’s always fun, you meet some interesting people that way! They used to have sandwiches in a refrigerated case, wonderful sandwiches, turkey, etc., then they served condiments on the side, which is nice if you prefer plain, etc. The refrigerated sandwiches are perfect if you’re not a fan of grilled sandwiches. Always something to look forward to (like breakfast and dinner, hee hee)!

Peaceful Solitude…
Peaceful. Quiet. Time for reflection.
This is the perfect place to listen to your inner self and relax. Sit back, close your eyes, imagine the sound of the water lapping against the shore.
I know! Peaceful solitude.

Sunset from Port Clyde, Maine – Marshall Point Lighthouse
A sunset in Port Clyde, Maine several years ago. This is the Marshall Point Lighthouse (built in 1832).
We rented a cottage a few times while we were in Port Clyde. It was just a short walk to from the cottage to the lighthouse, what a treat! The cottage was on the ocean and was just a dream!

Monhegan flowers…
Flowers against that beautiful September sky! Monhegan Island (Maine) has always been a place of beauty. Quiet days (in September), the bluest skies, and wildflowers growing in abundance.
Looking back through photos gets you through until the next visit!

Treats in Wiscasset, Maine…
I love to take photographs of this place. Treats is a wonderful location to STOP at if you’re riding through Wiscasset, Maine. If you’re staying there it’s even better, you can keep popping in, breakfast, lunch and dinner! They have such an interesting array of merchandise. Their food and coffee is out of this world good. Soup like you can only dream of… I took this photo last fall. What a dream this place is!
Treats of Maine – A place to gather, eat & share… their logo, love it!

Portland, Maine and Charleston, SC…
Exchange Street in Portland, Maine. All that cool brick and those beautiful buildings. So many interesting shops. Coffee shops, bakeries, bookstores, boutiques of all kinds, wonderful food.
Charleston, SC and Portland, ME have so much in common. They really are quite similar in many ways. Artsy, classy, beautiful and interesting! I could live here and be happy.
Funny, most places we go we say that we could live there, with very few exceptions (high traffic areas excluded)… Charleston, SC is such a charming town with so much to offer. You would be lucky to land in either location!

Quiet Reflections…
Look at this sky! This photo from the coast of Maine is very fitting for this time of year. Short daylight hours, the wild clouds in the sky. That wonderful light, however fleeting.
I think spending time after Thanksgiving reflecting on all you have to be grateful for is the perfect way to fast forward you into the upcoming year. Time flies so quickly!

The Finishing Touch…
The sweetest little things are such a surprise!
How sweet is this little bouquet? These bouquets were on the tables in the dining room at the Island Inn (Monhegan, Maine). They add such a nice touch, don’t they? The finishing touch for sure!
