MONHEGAN ISLAND II

With 17 miles of hiking trails and headlands that will take your breath away,
Monhegan Island is
treasured by islanders, artists, birdwatchers, hikers, sailors and vacationers.

 

 

Graced by Roses

Monhegan Island is known for its beautiful gardens.
I wanted to show the contrast of the freshness of the roses against the weathered clapboards of the cottage.
It is a picture of abiding in the vine
 and the beauty that is produced when you trust in the Lord.

The Maine Thing

This is all Maine - the pines, cottages, rocky ledges
and the Atlantic with the mainland in the distance -
10 miles away
and easily seen on this clear day.

Favorite Chick

She waddles around the yard pecking at the ground
as she goes about looking for a morsel to eat.
Always on the move, not a good model, but my favorite
.

Manana

Manana Island is the protector of the harbor of Monhegan Island,
a safe place from the open ocean to tie up for the night.  
It was the home of the hermit for many years and the coastguard station
both are now deserted. Visitors may hire Rusty to motor them to the island
to hike around it and get a great view of Monhegan Village.

Looking up the Rocks

From swim beach as you look up over the granite rocks,
the Island Inn rises majestically into the sky.

Solstice

Painting against time as the sun dropped into the Atlantic and the light
was disappearing, paint dripping, colors added and mixing,
it was indistinguishable as to what the results were until the next morning.

Monhegan School House

The one room school house stands on the north end of the village. Grade school children attend until they have to go to the mainland to finish high school.  Many island activities take place here.

Red

One of the many baby chicks that ran freely about their yard and roadway.
I loved the feet feathers, a fancy touch.

Monhegan Light House

Looking up from lawns of the Trailing Yew
over the rooftops of island homes,
the red roof tops of the museum,
the lighthouse and gallery glow in the sun..

The Barnacle

Right at the dock, visitors catch a quick meal or a relaxing
one as they await their journey back to the mainland.
Smutty Nose Island in the background helps form the
Monhegan Harbor a refuge for the calling gulls soaring about.
