Saddle Shoe Cows

Actually, they are reverse saddle shoes. The Belted Galloway cows are very popular in Maine. There is a herd in Rockport that is a tourist attraction (?). These guys live in Freeport. I stumbled on them one day driving down a side road I had never been on before. I like the one on the far right... he just barely has a white stripe at all. Wonder if he gets points deducted for lack of stripe ?

Staircase

This is the main staircase in a 200 year old house outside of Freeport. This house is so old it had Indian Shutters (which were closed in case of Indian attack, which, as far as I know, hasn't happened there in a while). I love the built in drawers.... what a great space saver. The staircase is very steep, like on a boat, so you almost go up the stairs using your hands. This is a great example of the quality of workmanship in old houses. Very little has been done to this house since it was built, aside from electricity and central heat, and it is still very functionable and comfortable.

Bicycle

Leaning against a pole on Danforth St, late August.

Point Lookout

This is a dry stone wall at the top of Point Lookout, a resort in Northport Maine. From the top you can see Penobscot Bay and the Islands. And... it is the perfect place to have a wedding!

The Queen Mary

The Queen Mary came into port in Portland a couple of years ago... really big deal. And it is such a big ship that it couldn't dock, so they anchored at the head of the harbor and had fireworks the first night they were in port. The next day they had tours on the Peaks Island ferry. They had Coast Guard boats guarding her, so you couldn't get too close. Wouldn't you know it, the only day they were in port was SO FOGGY. I couldn't see the ship until we were as close as they would let us get, so this is the only photo I could take. I actually took a lot more photos, but they are all of...fog.

Zen Garden

This little Zen Garden is at the drive up window of the Dunkin Donuts near the Maine Mall in South Portland. OOMMMMMMM.

Crows

These crows are on a mailbox on Route 25 in Standish. Made of cast iron. Just hanging out over a mailbox, watching the traffic go by, summer and winter.
