Tall Ships












First of all I will describe the pictures, then I will talk about our day today. The moon has been full, so I have been trying to capture the reflection of the moon on Penobscot Bay. The first picture is my latest attempt. Then I took a flash picture of the group enjoying the view. Today was windjammer day in Camden, so we went down to watch. We were told that there was a park away from the center of town where we could set up our chairs, eat our lunch, set up our cameras/binoculars and watch the sails. We found the park, and were the first ones there. When we arrived, we were confronted with an ugly sign that said "No dogs in the park". It mentioned a $250 fine. Since we had Belle, we turned around and headed back. We tried a couple of vantage points north of the harbor. There is one picture of a four-master coming into the harbor. On the way home we traveled to the top of a resort area in Northport and took a few pictures from their lookout. One picture shows the setup for a wedding tomorrow. Don't you like the setting? The last picture is a ten mile picture on maximum telephoto. You can see, through the haze, a windjammer heading in to Camden. We got back and attended the usual campground-wide Friday happy hour. It is pot luck hors d'ouevres and the campground provides the beer and wine. As a result, we don't have supper on Fridays. We later adjourned to our usual group for a quiet extension of the evening, and we watched the full moon come up.

Hi Durelle and Frank. I finally got around to catch up on your blog. You have been busy people. I have to go look at a map now to see if I can find the places you have visited. Our Grandaughter, Alisa Priebe just left for Durham, Maine on Friday afternoon. She and Sybil drove. Sybil flies back tonight. Alisa hopes to find a job. It was hard to see her go. Its so far away. Wasn't that good news about Phil and Laura and their new grandchild, Devin? I really enjoy your blog news and pictures. Thanks for sharing. Esther & Ted
