4th of July Mosaics

Allow me to briefly interrupt the Western Maine road trip to introduce the Eastern Maine road trip taken the 4th of July. The mosaics speak for themselves and, if you look closely, you may find a surprise. All pictures for these mosaics were taken at *Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park.*

Along the Casco Bay Trail

At the Shore

Can't see Casco Bay for the Trees

Fun and Games

Osprey

'Twas a busy, fun, lovely, exhausting day. A lovely Tuesday to you...

    What beautiful scenery - you've created gorgeous mosaics. I do believe that I've found the "surprise", but will come back and read later to ensure that I'm right before I commit!

    Wow~ So very gorgeous.

    I am exhausted after a late night and a very early morning. I'll stop back later when my brain is actually functional.

    Lovely photos, Vee.

    Sorry, I don't see a surprise...I must be missing something. Well, it wouldn't be the first time!

    Your photos reinforce my desire to visit Maine - when we go to Vermont this year!

    And I saw it, BEFORE reading your "Look for a surprise" hint! I did. I did. I'm a great looker-at-pics-first I guess. :-)

    It looks like you found the perfect spot to celebrate July 4th with your family!

    I see you had mosquito protection along. Were they a problem? They have come out in full force over here these past few days (late this year...like everything else)!

    Surprise? Hmmm. I'll be back after the commercial break. ☺

    Great photos!

    I was right - the picture of you and John was the surprise!! And a wonderful surprise it was! I found it right away, but since I haven't met the two of you in person, I thought I'd better not say until I knew it was the two of you. I must say, you do look like the sweetest couple.

    wow! What a beautiful location! Your fourth looks like it was spent in the grandest of styles ... family!

    I love the pic of you and John .... what a sweet surprise!

    Maine is just beautiful. I may have to talk my hubs into a road trip North instead of South sometime!

    It looks like a very pretty place for a road trip. Your photos are beautiful and so is that sweet looking couple that I see in the third mosaic. Is that the surprise?

    I hope to see Maine one day and your pictures have inspired me to do it. Our nephew and family are in Maine this week. He has posted pics of light houses and beautiful senery. Looks like you all had fun.

    Water, forest and sky make for such lovely photos. It looks like you all had a lot of fun.
    And I'd say the surprise is the photo of you with John - knowing that you don't often put up photos of yourself. You look happy together.

    Vee,

    The mosaics are gorgeous! My favorite shot, those darling little blue shoes! You and John are so cute together! What a wonderful family day. Only for you am I popping in to comment. (Are you trying to lure me back? ;c)

    Vee, your mosaic pictures are wonderful. I'd like to visit that state park! Yes, the Marines who were stationed near you are now here for a furlough before reporting to Okinawa, Japan. I will make the most of it and may be absent from the blogosphere for awhile. Enjoy your summer at these beautiful places!

    Your mosaics are beautiful, Vee! It looks like your family had a wonderful and refreshing trip along the beautoful coast of Maine. I spied the sweet photo of you and John standing in the shade. :) You make a wonderful couple!

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful Maine.
    I hope someday to visit there. Your rocky shore resemble many of our Lake Superior ones.
    I became a follower-I'll be back soon to visit again!
