On our last day in Acadia National Park we awoke to a steady gray rain and drizzle. However, we did not let that stop us from exploring the western arm of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. We had never visited this side of the island before, so after checking out of the cabin we drove along the coastline to see what we could see. This drive along Somes Sound is an “autos only” road and I could soon see why. There isn’t much room here. Still, I wanted to take some photos, so Gus dropped me off and drove ahead to see if there was a spot for him to pull off. I walked the edge lugging two cameras and my bins to get these shots. A gray day, but still lovely and cool.
I did not see a lot of birds at this location but I was very happy to find the loons. All the scenery shots were taken with our new Nikon Coolpix S4000 while the loons were taken with the D80 as stated.
And please Have a Happy
That is what we should have done. I took a few out the window last summer, but we didn't dare stop.

ReplyDeleteWHEN PLANETS PLUMMET
When planets plummet
And comets careen,
It’s the strangest sight
You ever have seen.
When drunk stars stagger
And comets collide,
It’s time to look up
As you go outside
To stare at the sky
Where the strangest sight
Is the moon-faced thing
That you see at night.
