More than flowers on the Camden Garden Tour.

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Rockport rose on the Camden Garden Tour.

Within the gorgeous gardens on Maine’s garden tours, the architecture, art, history, and people, can amaze as well.

Here are just a few glimpses of the Camden Garden Tour on a very overcast, and sometimes drippy, last Thursday. (Getting used to a new camera.)

Delightful fish folk art in a Rockport harbor garden.

Fantastic fish swim on the boathouse of the Patti & Bruce Westphal’s Garden on Rockport Harbor. The home was filled with a very amusing folk art collection that expanded into the garden.

Andre the Seal loved visiting this lobsterman’s house. Fish (the edible variety) were of interest to him as well.

The fences at the Berwick Hill in Rockport are as classic as the gardens.

Apologies for spelling, grammar and context errors recently. Rushing too much is the excuse.

Playtime.

What could be better than to be kid in Maine? The whole state is virtually a playground for kids, big and small. But just in case you’re looking for the real thing, try this spectacular spot. It’s on Sea Street in Rockport. (See the Google map below.)

This tiny, hidden park in Rockport is the perfect spot for romping, strolling, splashing, climbing, picnicing, swimming, wading, reading, or just enjoying the gorgeous Rockport Harbor. You’ll find a small sandy beach and granite steps into the water, a fun playground, picnic tables, grassy hills to roll down and a couple of fire pits.

Another yellow house update.

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Wow. This is going to be spectacular. Check out the addition with those fabulous windows! It looks like they’re looking at color schemes, and yellow is in the mix. Cellardoor is certainly going to make it’s mark. And it’s also  time to investigate the talented Phi Builders. Previous posts — here and here.
