Downeast Coast, Maine, a day in the Park

[Care4all]

Fort Point, about 20 miles from home by car, about a mile and a half from home as the crow flies.....we live on the opposite side of the Penobscot Bay/River from this park....this was yesterday, a bit hazy but glorious none the less!

thank goodness for texas....irving oil tanker being towed up the river to dock and unload our heating oil!

we decided to take a hike down to the pier...

Bee-U-tiful photos Care4All!

I'll be heading up to your state in August with my family. We'll be staying on Lake Pemaquid up in Damariscotta. Lovely country up in Maine. Just a beautiful state!

You could see the penobscot narrows bridge from there too...

Beaches are real rocky! some cool rocks too, and artifacts....i found a broken piece of very old pottery with markings on it that i am trying to decipher!

That's a sweet bridge. I think there are only four like it in the world, or something like that.

I also love exploring Fort Knox

xox....

i love that bridge too....here are some other shots with FT Knox in the pictures as well! Taken from right across from the town ice cream shop, where we ended our day!

of COURSE the bridge is 2 obelisks forming AN ELEVEN!

the paper mill with the town put in a lovely walk with those views above...
