Hiking around Rockport


We took three short hikes around the Rockport and Rockland. We were quite fortunate in the weather in which rain held off until the afternoon.

Martin Point Wildlife Preserve in Friendship. Fun trail in which little houses had been made. I envisioned young children taking walks and making little houses.




young pine trees uprooted taking moss with them




Lovely!!!!!



Marshall Point Lighthouse stands on a rocky point at the end of the St. George peninsula in Maine. The lighthouse aids navigation along the Gulf of Maine coast and marks the entrance to the mouth of the St. George River and the harbor located in the fishing village of Port Clyde.

Fuel was changed from lard to more volatile fuels for the lamp so a separate house needed to be built.
