and still more Maine

Fran says: Just a few shots from our lobster fishing day today. Have most of my shots of the lobster hauling process on my camera; unable to download until I get home.

Fran says: Being here and with the sea is truly is a joy. Far removed from computer screens and stupidity. After Ken weighed in and delivered our catch at Five Islands (where fisherman sell their catch) we had lunch there (fresh caught fish of course). Photo taken from the dock. Then we went to beautiful botanical gardens.
Tonight we had a homey BBQ with burgers and brats and now I'm reading and doing laundry. Lobster bait (herring) does not smell pretty!
Tomorrow we are planning to venture by boat to Burnt Island Lighthouse, one of the few you can explore. And maybe visit home of the Whoopie Pie. Hey we have priorities!
I can see many visits here ahead.
