  1. Where do you go, real or imagined, when you need a little peace?

    I think my spot involves night skies and maybe the water... like this view of Bass Harbor Head lighthouse on the Maine coast. 🌕✨

  2. Reports of fairy sightings occur in Maine’s Acadia National Park. Folklore about fairies has long surrounded Acadia National Park, which is home to mysterious islands, thick forests, and a rough coastline. #fairies #acadianationalpark fairyland.blog/post/8134114048

  3. #WetlandRestoration and Improvement Projects Receive $4.6 Million in Funding

    February 09, 2026 | #Maine

    AUGUSTA, Maine — "The Maine Natural Resource Conservation Program (#MNRCP) awarded over $4.6 million for 10 projects that will restore and enhance freshwater and coastal wetlands and streams, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MaineDEP) announced today.

    The projects awarded funding include:

    - Improving degraded #SaltMarsh around the #YorkRiver
    - Restoring #eelgrass in the #GreatSaltBay
    - Removing dams on the #RoyalRiver in #YarmouthME and the #NezinscotRiver in #BuckfieldME
    - Reconnecting a side channel and reestablishing #wetlands along the Upper #MagallowayRiver
    - Expanding and enhancing the #RiparianBuffer of a brook in #WaldoboroME
    - Upgrading a culvert to a bridge on a tributary to the #AroostookRiver
    - Restoring and reconnecting #wetlands in #AcadiaNationalPark

    "In total, $4,633,343 was awarded to restore wetlands that will improve water quality, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, and mitigate flooding impacts.

    "#MNRCP is one of the most important funding sources for wetland restoration and conservation projects in the state. Since it began in 2008, the program has awarded over $36 million for 183 wetland restoration and conservation projects. Public agencies, municipalities, Tribes and nonprofit conservation organizations are all eligible to apply for funding. MNRCP funding can cover the costs of wetland consultants and engineers who support project design and implementation.

    "The program provides opportunities for restoration projects that help improve a broad range of critical habitats, both inland and along Maine’s coast."

  4. Oooh, someone stranded on an island when tides came in... Looks like they, tried to swim for it and drowned. 🙏

    "...At approximately 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, National Park Service rangers, the U.S. Coast Guard, Maine Warden Service, Maine Marine Patrol, and Maine Association of Search and Rescue (MASAR) responded to a report from the Bar Harbor Police Department of an individual believed to be stranded on Bar Island. Responders were unable to locate the individual upon arrival. ... The individual was located deceased late Thursday morning. "

  5. #Maine - The #SchoodicToSchoodic Initiative

    "Together we can save one of the last places along the #EasternSeaboard where #wildlife can roam to and from rocky #shores and inland #woods seeking food and refuge.

    "Seventy-five percent of Maine’s native plants and animals are vulnerable to the impacts of #ClimateChange. As temperatures warm, these threatened species will have to move significant distances to survive, but too often #development makes this impossible.

    "Over the past several decades we’ve been working in partnership with #FrenchmanBayConservancy, #TheNatureConservancy, the #StateOfMaine, and other partners to conserve key 'stepping stones' of land between #DonnellPond Unit (state-conserved land surrounding #SchoodicMountain and #TunkLake) and the #SchoodicDistrict of #AcadiaNationalPark (on the #SchoodicPeninsula) to create a protected corridor for #wildlife. Through over 60 conservation projects, #MCHT and partners have conserved more than 55,000 acres from 'Schoodic to Schoodic.' MCHT has played a role in three-quarters of those projects.

    "Still, the corridor is not sufficiently protected and critical lands are under threat of development."

  6. I thought I’d try out this #FootpathFriday tag because I have lots of trail pics! This one is in #AcadiaNationalPark on #MountDesert #Maine. This particular path runs along the shore of #JordanPond. This picture was taken in June 2023.

  7. My lunch view. Several years ago I was able to post a similar lunch view almost every week from the White Mtns, NH, US. This is from Champlain Mtn, Acadia Park, Maine, US #hiking #GetOutside #AcadiaNationalPark

  8. There’s a quiet beauty to a foggy morning in Somesville, Maine. I made this image in June during my Springtime in Acadia workshop. The historic Selectmen’s Building and its arched bridge stood reflected in the still mill pond, wrapped in soft mist. A calm, timeless moment on Mount Desert Island.
