30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 13

There is a “social” path that leads off of the Quarry Trail in Acadia.  I noticed it a few weeks ago but never ventured down that elusive trail.  I suspect it has its origin in the village of Otter Creek, intersects the Quarry Trail… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 13”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 12

When I visited the library in Bar Harbor yesterday, I noticed a book on one of the display tables called “Living on the Edge.”  It’s not what you might think given that title!  The book is a guide to life along the seacoast environment… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 12”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 11

Torrential rain fell upon Mount Desert Island today.  I hunkered down inside my trailer for much of the day and thought about how I would manage to get a photo opportunity.  I cleaned, read and eventually took the shuttle into Bar Harbor to the… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 11”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 10

I needed to plan an extended hike today.  After five days of working, and no extended hike last week, I was long overdue.  I decided to hike to the top of one of my favorite peaks in the park – Pemetic Mountain via a… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 10”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 9

Sunday’s are my Friday’s, if you get my meaning.  I usually have a much reduced energy level after five days of work.  I also needed to make a trip to the grocery store to replenish supplies.  So, in thinking about where I would go… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 9”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 7

After work today, I headed to one of my favorite spots on the island.  Strolling along the paths and carriage roads around Little Long Pond during the early evening is both meditative and rejuvenating.  It is an activity I engage in at least once… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 7”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 6

After getting up early yesterday for those amazing sunrise photos, and then working the late shift, I was not able to lift myself out of bed early this morning!  Since I had to work at noon, I only had a short window of time… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 6”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 5

Since sunrise is coming at a more reasonable hour now, I decided to set my alarm and trek down to the cliffs for an early morning photo opportunity.  Sunrise today was technically 6:01 am with first light coming at 5:31 am.  I wanted to… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 5”

30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 4

The Jesup Path near the Sieur de Monts area of Acadia has an interesting history.  I have found references to this trail as early as 1895, and George Dorr once proposed that this path was originally a Native American carry route from Cromwell Harbor… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 4”
