Maine Water

Want beautiful water- ocean, lakes, and rivers? Maine's got it. Growing up with the Maine water in my backdoor, I didn't fully appreciate it. It wasn't until going to college when I started cherishing the little moments by the Maine water. 

I perused through my old shots and found some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Taking a stroll down Pine Point Beach at dusk. Fishermen hoping to get lucky and catch a big one for dinner. 

 The other side of Pine Point Beach toward Old Orchard Beach.

One of my all-time favorite places to go while in Maine, Fort Williams State Park. It's home to the oldest lighthouse in Maine, Portland Head Light. Such a great place for a picnic with family and friends!

Another perfect picnic spot is Portland Breakwater Light, more commonly known as "Bug Light."


Mt. Katahdin in the beautiful backdrop before white water rafting the Penobscot River.

Love taking the ferry to Peak's Island, a quick 3-miles from downtown Portland. Below is a view from one of the island's beaches.

My mom discovered a new gem for me, Fort Popham. She said I had to go with her and twisted my arm. When Roxanne is persistent, she usually has a valid reason... We went to Phippsburg to explore.

Built originally in 1861 for the Civil War, and then used again during the Spanish American War and World War I, you can feel the history.

Since I covered the ocean and river, it's time for a lake. So many great memories at "Big" and "Little" Sebago, Long Lake, and more.
