With Kansas so hot and dry this year it was wonderful to take a quick get-away to the lake cottage in Maine owned by our daughter’s husbands family. It was SO cool and quiet there. A blessed relief from the summer we were experiencing at home! There is more moisture in the air here than we have had all summer at home!

The first morning there this was our view from the edge of the foggy lake – what a way to enjoy the morning coffee. No sounds except an occasional Loon call.

Later in the morning the fog lifted and we went to Pemaquid Point to see the lighthouse. So picturesque! Sitting on the rocks amid the swirling seagulls I snapped this view of the crashing waves. Doesn’t it look just like a painting? I’m sure this trip will give me ideas for new work.

My lens jammed when I tried to zoom in on the rocks and then the camera would do NOTHING! No seagull pictures, no lighthouse pictures, no response from the camera to any commands. Luckily when we got back and plugged it into the charger everything cleared up and worked fine for the rest of the trip, so I will share more photos later.
