New England, August 2008
Promenade, Portland, Maine. A huge fog bank rolled in right after I took
this picture. A minute later you couldn't see anything beyond the trees.
Portland Head Light House, Maine
Frog, Acadia National Park, Maine
Lobster boat pulling pots, Acadia National Park
View of Otter Point encased in fog, photo taken from Thunderhole, Acadia National Park.
(The hole never thundered, by the way - wasn't stormy enough!)
Mist moving in over Eagle Pond, Acadia National Park. Literally 10 seconds
after I snapped this picture, we were socked in and couldn't see past the
front of the car...that's how fast the mist moves! It's like a living
thing...
The "bar" from which Bar Harbor gets its name. You can only cross
to Bar Island at low tide. Park on it at your own risk...
Yay! The fog finally clears and the view from the summit of Cadillac
Mountain is amazing.
Sunset sets the mist aflame. Eagle Pond, viewed from near Cadillac
Mountain summit.
A quintessential study of my husband, camera in
hand. Actually it's tough to catch him without the camera stuck to his
eye! I had to move fast to get this shot.
Mushrooms, Jordan Pond, Acadia
Bass Harbor Light, Acadia
Concord Bridge and Battlefield, Concord, Mass.
Musket firing demo, Minute Man Historical Park, Concord, Mass.
The road the Minute Men rode down from Boston. Hartwell Tavern, Concord.
Orchard House, home of Louisa May Alcott and her family, Concord.
My husband wading in Walden Pond, Concord.
Graveyard, Salem, Mass.
Same graveyard, that night. The gravestones look like the walking dead! It
was misting rain that night, so the orbs in this photo are most likely
raindrops.
Our ghost walk tour guide, Salem, Mass.
Granary Burial Ground at Park Street Church, Boston. Many Revolutionary
War figures are buried here, including Sam Adams, John Hancock, Paul
Revere, the Boston Massacre victims, and others. The graveyard is
literally hemmed in by skyscrapers.
Old South Meeting House, Boston, where the Boston Tea Party was planned.
Paul Revere home. Before the taller buildings in the area were built, the
Old North Church steeple was visible from here.
Old North Church. "One of by land, two if by sea..."
USS Constitution, oldest commissioned naval ship afloat. They still take
her out and sail her occasionally - you can sign up to be a passenger!
Mayflower II, Plymouth, Mass.
Wampanoag re-enactor, Plimoth Plantation (yes, that's spelled right!).
Actually this gentleman is an Abenaki nation member from Quebec. Most
Native Americans here are not actually Wampanoag, but they all spoke the
language.
Another Plimouth re-enactor who was a barrel of fun to talk to. The Native
re-enactors are not "in character" as the English re-enactors in the other
village are. They speak to you as modern people.
A very entertaining re-enactor in Plimoth village. All the actors here are
"in character" and speak to you in time period. Ask them anything - it's
impossible to trip them up. They are brilliant...just keep in mind the
characters they portray have politically incorrect views about women,
natives, and the Dutch. [grin]
View from the meeting house/stockade, Plimoth Plantation village. This is
a reconstruction of what used to exist down on the waterfront.
