Maine~”The way Life should be.”

Maine

The Way Life Should Be”

I must say this quote says it all!

~*~*~*~ 

My family and I needed a mini escape, so we took our boat and headed inland for 3 days to Lake Cobbosseecontee, phew, that name is a tongue twister!, say that 5 times fast!

I captured some beautiful scenery as well as my very first eagle spotted perched way up in a pine!!

When I hear that distinct call of the loon echo across the lake, I know I’m in Maine.

As we trolled around the shoreline we heard a loud screech from up above…it was this eagle peering down at us!

The stillness of the morning mist as it hovers over the lake, all you hear are the faint sounds of the loons crying in the distance…

My husband (an avid bass fisherman) and my son head out in the morning mist.

This osprey was sitting on the highest tree on a tiny remote island, very impressive!

Nature’s beauty is certainly something that I will always appreciate, it’s like a gift from God!

  6. I love Maine, too! My Swedish ancestors were some of the founding members of a couple of towns there way back when.... Am looking forward to getting back up to Maine one day to check out the towns they lived in......

    My husband is a bass fisherman, too, and would love to be out on that lake!! It is beautiful -- and your pics of it and all the wildlife are stunning! Thanks for sharing!
