Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
in Boothbay, Maine.
Beautiful flowers!
And five giant trolls to find as you walk the 300 acres!
Scott's favorite troll is Birk because it reminds
him of the "Keep on Truckin" character
from the late 60's.
A great place for kids and adults.
Stunning Lily in the pond area where kids
can pull up a lobster trap and catch a "real" lobster.

Think about how many hours that it took to create
these very detailed, unique trolls!
Roskva
The artist, Thomas Dambo,
lives and works in Copenhagen.
He is a recycle art activist and his trolls
are on the most significant attractions
in Denmark and worldwide.

When you open the door you are surprised
to find shelves of little fairy houses.
My personal favorite is Soren because
it looks happy, and enjoying life.
This is just a sneak peak of what you will see.
If you are in the area, definitely plan on
spending several hours enjoying this
very unique garden.
Here is the view of Bar Harbor, Maine
from on top of Cadillac Mountain.
Acadia National Park
They have a great bus system around Acadia
and it was so nice to have them do the driving!
No parking hassles.
We stopped in Southwest Harbor,
checked out some shops, had lunch, and saw a bee
on this interesting light purple flower.
Zoom in to see the "pollen basket" on the hind leg.
It was a busy bee
because the baskets on each leg were full.
One of the cool things we did was hike the Bar Island Trail.
At low tide a gravel bar is exposed and
you can walk out to Bar Island.
Don't stay too long or you are stuck there for 9 hours!
Once you are on the other side,
the thing to do is build cairns
that the tide might knock down.
Such a beautiful area of the country!
