Mere days ago, the temperature rose and the sun shone.
And the mist hovered.
The perfect combination of elements for trying out new beach gear.
And making new footprints in this year’s sand. Yes, we do have sand in Maine.

Watch out. These cheeky driftwood fish just might reel you in.
Wallwork Gallery in Rockport has cornered the current market for this particular species of funny fish from the whimsical local artist Bruce Westphal.
Wallwork has brought them in from their native habitat. (Swimming on the walls of Bruce Westphal’s Rockport Harbor cottage.)
Having navigated the high powered business world for a while, Westphal has decided to get his feet wet in the art world.
And Gerry Millet of Wallwork is helping Bruce bait his hooks.
Stop in soon. This charming show will only be fresh until the end of this month.
Wallwork Gallery, 67 Pascal Avenue, Rockport, ME 04856, 617-990-6304.

The Ship Harbor Trail in MDI’s Acadia National Park, is gorgeous.
And an easy way for anyone to experience the rugged and charming Maine coast.

Big wind, big tree, big roots.
