My motivation as a blogger is again reflected in the title. Below you will find a collection of Burt's favorite photos documenting the five weeks we spent in Maine. This year temperatures were a bit cooler, fog , a bit more prevalent, and rain a little more common. We still had a wonderful time exploring favorite locations and added in a few new ones. Maine is a special place, and we hope these pictures (and those in the following blog) convey the experience.

| Our landfall in Maine, Boothbay Harbor. |
 |
| More of the waterfront in Boothbay |
 |
| Monhegan Island where we were lucky enough to snag a mooring in an otherwise difficult to access harbor. Exuberant is in the foreground, taken while we hiked Manana Island which forms part of the harbor. |
 |
| Village at Monhegan |
 |
| The original Coast Guard fog bell, once on Manana Island, seen in the distance, and now on Monhegan. If it looks familiar, think of the Wyeth's. This was one favored location for their painting excursions. |

| Hiking the cliffs at Monhegan |
 |
| More from the cliffs |
 |
| The lighthouse just outside Port Clyde. |
 |
| Sunset, Port Clyde. |
 |
| A skiff displayed at the maritime museum in Searsport. |
 |
| Double rainbow at Belfast. |
 |
| A mooring, high and dry with the 12 foot tides, in Belfast. Sure wouldn't want to be assigned # 136. |
 |
| A busy harbor in Camden |
 |
| The spillway from the mill stream in Camden. |
 |
| Camden's beautiful library with Mount Beattie in the background. |
 |

 |
| Glowing light on a calm evening in Rockland. |
 |
| The village of North Haven |
 |
| Along North Haven's harbor. |
 |
| Shells along the "beach" in North Haven. |
 |
| Sharing the anchorage formed by Camp, Devil, and Hell's Half Acre islands. |
 |
| More of the same anchorage, considered part of Merchant's Row. |
 |
| A Camden Schooner passes by our anchorage between McGathery and Round Islands, also in Merchant's Row. |
 |
| The view from our hike around Round Island where the promised trail proved to be elusive. |
