Today we left Belfast at 1030 and headed south to New Harbor. We stopped between Chamberlin and New Harbor to take some pictures of the Rachel Carson Salt Pond and some of the surrounding beach plums. The pond is recreated with each receeding tide which leaves the bowl in the picture filled with quite a sample of sea life. There is a picture of the New Harbor harbor. Notice the complete absence of pleasure craft. This is solely a working harbor with lobster pot buoys even in the narrow channel. Of course we had to stop for lobster rolls. I took a picture of this one after Durelle had had a couple of bites. There was no filler, a taste of lettuce and just a hint of mayonnaise. There must have been at least a half pound of lobster. We then headed down to Pemaquid Point. There is a shot of the surf with a patch of lupine in the foreground. From there we went to Damariscotta and the Round Top Farm for a pair of their famous ice cream cones. The last shot was taken on the way home between Damariscotta and Camden showing a front yard full of lupine. We got back just after three to find Bernie Dunn walking Belle. The sky was cloudless and the temperature was 75. Does it get any better than that? Unfortunately, the blog does not post the pictures in the same order as I see them when I am composing the post. But I guess you can figure out which description goes with which picture.

Thanks for taking us to New Harbor with you. The Salt Pond picture has just replaced Mount Rushmore as my wallpaper.
