Arcadia Nat'l Park and Bar Harbor Area

Bar Harbor & Frenchman Bay
Lobsterman leaving after unloading his catch.  The weather & water aren't always this lovely but he still has to go out and pull up his lobster traps. 
A harsh way to make a living.

Beautiful scenery almost always includes a snug harbor.

Cozy little summer cottage with spectacular view

Surprising number of classic wood boats in these calm harbors

Colorful cabins painted in "Bahamian" colors

Working harbor as evidenced by all the lobster traps

THE BAR at Bar Harbor - accessible at low tide, but don't dawdle. If the tide comes in and leaves you stranded and the Coast Guard has to come to your rescue they get cranky.

One of the hundreds of Atlantic Puffins we saw on the Whale - Puffin tour.  Too cute!

Eyes Left!

Humpback Whale tail - we had a perfect day with no fog and smooth water

These guys surface and spout, but when they show a lot of arched back you'd better have your camera ready
