My wife and I went to Maine for a visit on Wednesday, to the Wells and Oguinquit area.
I probably wouldn’t ordinarily post these pictures, but this is actually in the nature of an experiment. I recently downloaded a new app for my Ipad, called Blogpress, which is the first blog editor that I’ve found that actually enables you to easily embed a link. One would think that would be fairly basic, but the WordPress app does not have that functionality.
This app also supposedly makes it easier to post pictures, so I thought I would give it a try. This first picture was taken at the top of Mount Adamenticus, from whose lofty peak (I would estimate 300 feet up) you can view Mount Washington in the dim and hazy distance. The picture of that vaunted peak is decidedly uninteresting, but I was sort of proud of this picture I got of a butterfly that was sipping at the local flora.
We arrived as a bout of rainy, windy weather was coming to an end. The folks who had week long rentals had been confined indoors until Thursday, when they turned out in force to enjoy the beach.
We have gone to Perkins Cove quite a few times, but this may have been the first time we went when the weather was perfect.
Not being an expert, I’m only guessing, but I think these are cormorants. If past experience is any guide some bird expert will set me right if I’m wrong. Every time I’ve ever posted something about birds someone has posted a comment giving helpful information.
Speaking of birds, a dovecote at Snug Harbor Farms, a wonderful nursery near Kennebunkport.
