13-year-old nephew Spencer runs "Hummer" around the Manset Dock in Southwest Harbor

 Made a day visit to Deer Isle and Little Deer Isle
to the NW where the following two photos were taken

Pumpkin Island Light off the western tip of Little Deer Isle in Penobscot Bay

Spencer skipping a rock in the cove on Deer Isle where our family spent a
week or two in a cabin we rented from my Dad's friend some 40 years ago

The "Linda Sea" dry-docked for maintenance.
This was the lobster boat I went out on in 2003.

Spencer rowing "Hummer" in Southwest Harbor

Some of the mackerel caught off the pier in Southwest Harbor — Spencer caught 6 in 2K5.

The seal named Lucille, swimming in Bass Harbor

Coast Guard chopper takes off from the station in Southwest Harbor — had an encounter with it.

Here's that Coast Guard cutter I had that little encounter with in Southwest Harbor,
By the way, see something else in the water?  Not sure if it's a government seal.

A very wary red squirrel in a tree atop Cadillac Mountain eyes the photographer

(l. to r.) Bakers Island, Islesford, Great Cranberry Island, Sutton Island, Northeast Harbor, the Seawall area,
Great Gott Island, Placentia Island and Swans Island — from atop Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island

Dad at Bass Harbor Light . . .

. . . after breakfast at the Quietside campsite . . .

. . . and awhn the wahter, rowing "Hummer" off the dawhk at Manset.  Nice pick-Chas!

Near this plaque at the foot of Acadia Mountain the water ( in Somes Sound ) is ca. 300 ft. deep,
making it the only known naturally-occurring fjord on the East Coast of the United States.
Photo was taken from "Hummer" on the way up to Somes Harbor/Somesville, ME.

Aerial photo of Somes Sound ( taken from my seat in a Cessna Skyhawk in 2002 ) facing north.
On the left ( just left of the plane's strut ) is Echo Lake where we took an evening swim ( see below ).

Spencer's one blueberry — we searched for a long while but never found another ripe one.
The cool rainy spring meant they'd be coming in late.  Spencer said it was a bit sour.

Evening swim in Echo Lake — Beech Mountain in the background

The dock at Manset in Southwest Harbor — where "Hummer" was moored during our vacation

A raindrop-encrusted blueberry plant bears witness
to the Lord's exquisite care of His creation.
How much more His care of mankind!

The moon rises over Cadillac Mountain as the fog starts to clear off from Eagle Lake

The campsite at Quietside Campground — again, what a great place to be . . .

. . . and [ sigh ] what a hard place to leave as we prepare to head home.
