The yard around the visitor center (centre?) afforded us an excellent birding opportunity. We saw Philadelphia vireo, Wilson's warbler, Blackburnian warbler, black-throated green warbler, Tennessee warbler, black & white warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, magnolia warbler, palm warbler, redstart, bay-breasted warbler, eastern wood-pewee, chipping sparrow, cedar waxwing, goldfinch, black-capped chickadee, and raven all within a couple of minutes.
One more note, the bottom right photo is of a hip from Rosa rugosa. The rose hips from these bushes were huge and quite tasty (hope it wasn't against the rules to taste the hips - if it was, we apologize).

We made two day trips into Canada while we were vacationing in Maine. The photo collage below is from our first trip.

Canada, on a foggy day. I promise I'll come back and fill in the details later...just wanted to get the pictures up first.
Things are a trifle hectic right now, both at home and at work. I have had no time to sit and reflect on what I would like to share with you. It's frustrating!

That's a beautiful collage! What is that hanging on the building? Driftwood?
Well, this is a nice appetizer. Cool urchin test.

Misery loves company :) The fall of the year can be ridiculously busy around here. If I can hold on until the first of January then things should slack off...

Yes, that is driftwood on the building. I thought it was very nice - wonder what kind of international incident I could have started if I had tried to make off with it?

Aw, man. There's a test? I didn't know there was gonna be a test. ;)
Eye candy . . . Totally delicious . . . I'm craving links to larger versions of each tasty image.
That there Canada place looks pretty interesting. :)
*thinks Swampy takes trips in the Twilight Zone, there doesn't seem to be any more HUMANS there than there are in the swamp*
I've missed your blog more than I realized (just haven't had time for blogging these days)--the pictures make you look rather busy yourself!
So glad you got a chance to travel up North some--good chance for you to expand your portfolio!
And the bat pics? Marvelous--we just hung purple and black bats from our chandelier last night!
