Very nice photos Jim! I really like the one of Owl's Head from your rock climbing episode. Fine shot of that replica also. Now I know!

It was AWESOME, nothing is better than spending quality time with family and visiting lighthouses. I still have some pictures to load:
Fire Island, Old Field Point ( from the ferry), Borden Flats, and Rockland Breakwater.
I ran out of time because I would have liked to visit Portland observatory, Cape Elizabeth, Stratford Point, Highland (Cape Cod) and some of the other LI lights. We made the trip from Cape Cod to LI and back in one day!! don't try that at home! eek

So many great photos to look at lately by so many "Wackos on the Move". At least you saw Boone Island Jim. When I was there I forgot to even look for it. frown I really like your Marshall Point shot! smile

Nice pictures Jim. You were certainly on the go alot. You covered a lot of territory. All these photos of Maine are sure making me want to take a trip back there.

MY brother-in-law, who recently passed away, wasn't a lighthouse person at all except for Nubble Light. He loved to go to York. He had this short poem about Maine on the wall of his home for years. Thought those of you who love Maine might enjoy it. The author is unknown.

Maine…
The place I love

Of all the places that I have been,
Of the spots that I’ve ventured to see,
I feel the most at home on the shores of Maine
It’s the place where my heart longs to be.

I can lose myself by the ocean,
Watching gulls swooping down from the sky …
I’m just at peace with my toes in the sand,
It’s a freedom my soul can’t deny.

And though I may grow to be older,
I doubt that I ever will find,
A place on this earth where I can escape,
And enjoy such complete peace of mind!
