I just had to share this video from NBC Evening News about the pod of blue whales that have been delighting whale watchers in the Los Angeles area.

The blue whales were once almost extinct but they have mande a huge comeback and NBC News reports that a blue whale was also “spotted by whale watchers just off the coast of Maine last Sunday.”

Maybe we’ll hear of sighting by one of the more local whale watching boats here on the North Shore sometime soon.

Three weeks ago I took a trip to Eastport Maine with a friend. The weather was mostly rainy, misty, foggy, but I still managed to take a lot of wonderful photos:

My photo gallery of the Eastport trip has a slideshow here.

This beautiful deer was foraging along the trail at Shackford Head in Eastport, ME when I was there two weeks ago…

You can’t get there from here…

This beach in Eastport, ME is on the south end of the island, facing Lubec. Lubec is about 10 minutes by boat or an hour by car… It’s one of those places that truly epitomizes the saying, “you can’t get there from here”…

Last week I took a short trip to Eastport, Maine. Eastport will always hold a special place in my heart because it led me to find my way home again. When I drove onto the causeway that connects Eatport to the mainland, I remembered that “I am a little island off the causeway of life.”

Last week I drove up to Eastport, Maine with a friend. We both commented along the drive how green everything looked. It seemed as though a palette of rich and glorious greens had spilled across the canvas of our ever changing view…

Was it the mist hanging over the day that made the colors of spring look so verdant and rich? Spring was slow starting after a rough winter with lot’s of snow. Perhaps it is a greener spring…
