Luckily for those of us who never get tired of beauty, Rockefeller and some other barons in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, discovered an area that made the perfect playground. Thus, the islands of Acadia have been preserved for the masses in a pristine state.
Acadia National Park is the only national park in New England. Besides the legendary fall foliage display of reds, oranges and yellows, Acadia offers a stunning range of geological diversity – demonstrating how geology and the sea shape the land. There is the rocky Atlantic shoreline, lush forests of spruce and fir, dozens of lakes and ponds, wild blueberry fields that create a tapestry of reds and oranges, rugged granite hills with panoramic views of the ocean.
There is pounding surf and peaceful mountain lakes. We will explore this amazing area - close-up, with macro lenses, and with wide angle lenses. Sometimes we’ll be on the beach and other times from 1,532 feet on Cadillac Mountain. (the first rays of sun to strike the United States occur here) There are 273 species of birds, 40 species of mammals, 18 species of amphibians and reptiles.
Our home will be at The Seawall Motel in Southwest Harbor, known as the Quietside. Our location is between mountain and sea, surrounded by pond, pine forest and ocean. We are next door to Acadia, and 13 miles from the easterly side of the island and Bar Harbor.
We will explore it all and in keeping with our theme that everything adds to us and makes us all the more creative, we will not leave out the most amazing blueberry pancakes and sumptuous “lobsta” dinners.
