New England Trip-Day 6

This blog is from Tues. night since I didn't have a good wi-fi connection and tonights isn't much better, but I'm going to try to get this to go through. After leaving York Beach we drove to Portland to see Portland Head Light. There are a few other lighthouses on the way that we had seen before, but didn't stop this time. Also the last time we were down Maine's coast it was rainy and foggy, so these pics are better than before. If you want to see the other lighthouses we have been to in this area go to my 2009 blogs and it was late April into first of May. 


 This is Whaleback light that you can see from Portland Head Light. The last time we were here it was so foggy we didn't even know it was out there.


 This is where Rose Hips come from. It is a rose bush that blooms all summer like............
 this, and then it has the fruit as above in late summer and fall and are used for jam, jelly, and also in cosmetics.
 Not sure what this lighthouse is. It was off the coast from a place we went to eat lunch.
 More rock formations. This was at Pemaquid Lighthouse.
 The rocks here looked like logs the way they were formed.

 Rockland Lighthouse. This picture was taken from our balcony where we were staying. Yep, once again we had lobster for dinner. Tomorrow we are on our way to Bar Harbor.

I like that shipwreck sign. Kind of eerie, but the writing has sure held up! Looks like you are having a great time. Love you.

I just love those rock formations. How cool. Do people live in those houses and tend to the lighthouse?
