Foster Huntington's photos.

Foster Huntington, sounds a bit like a law firm, but is actually a student at Colby. (These are all his fantastic photos!)

He’s a young man from the Northwest, who studys in Maine, and publishes a very stylish blog called “The Restless Transplant.”

But it’s pretty clear that Maine will accompany him wherever else he goes.

His blog reveals the life of a college student discovering himself, honing his new skills (great photos!) and absorbing the world around him. And he naturally understands how to build a ‘brand.’

He loves the stories behind what he perceives as the Maine ‘lifestyle.’ He loves clothing. Especially old clothing. He has great style. And he’s very fond of the color red.

Go take a look, and discover the Maine you know is there, but sometimes you don’t see.

And remember his name — Foster Huntington. Have a feeling it’ll be popping up somewhere fancy, if not on a label, in the not too distant future.

Even Mother Nature’s decorating for the season.

Just look what she’s done to brighten up the gardens during these short days.

These tiny crabapples not only look pretty, but must taste pretty good to wintering birds.

Red lobster boats tied up at Spruce Head.

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Maine’s lobstermen are toughing it out during this downturn. The price of lobster has fallen so far that it’s no more expensive than sliced turkey. Now there’s no reason not to enjoy one of life’s luxuries.

It seems strange that a century ago, lobsters were so plentiful that farmers used them for fertilizer, because nobody wanted to eat them. They were not the delicacy they are today and were routinely fed to prisoners. And not as their last meal.

All lobster boats are pretty, but there’s something special about a red hull cutting through Maine’s dark blue water, especially on a dreary day.
