We are headed south to Rockland and Port Clyde today knowing we have been there before but the latter was a real fav of mine on a previous trip as a sleepy fishing village. I have painted two pictures from there. One, a watercolor of a boat by a dock and the other an oil of the Marshall Point Lighthouse. First we stop in Rockland for lunch. We split a lobster club, a dish that Bobby Flay had done his Throwdown on. Then looked at the harbor. Then I did a 30 min shopping survey. eeayah, I think I have seen it all, except maybe a pretty cotton shirt I expected to cost $30-50 and cost $322. Didn't even have gold threads. Who buys these things?
On down the coast stopping at more little villages until we hit Port Clyde. Egad!! I guess it has been discovered since we were here. Cars on top of cars. Not so many people so I think they are out on the cruises that leave out of here. We did park and look about a bit. On the way back we stopped at the Owl Head Lighthouse which we had not seen before. The light itself is ho hum, and closed for painting, but the view from the bluff it is on is unparalleled. We are about in sensory overload from all the beauty we have seen here in the past week, and we still have a week to go. All our days are sunny. We had rain one morning early and we are having it again tonight.
The house with the pretty flowers sits facing the ocean about 20 feet on the other side of the road. This is just example of the hundreds we have seen like this, wonderful house, great gardens.
