Sarah Laurence: Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor
http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2015/05/coastal-maine-botanical-gardens-in.html
Novels, art and life in coastal Maine, as I like it. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor. Spring comes late to Maine, but it makes up for lost time with everything blooming all at once. On Mother's Day, my daughter and I visited Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. It's one of my favorite places, and she wanted to scout it for her senior project. She's creating a botanical guide to Maine plants with photos and drawings. We still share a love of nature. Tulips! Yes, the...

Sarah Laurence: March 2015
http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Novels, art and life in coastal Maine, as I like it. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. My Town: Brunswick, Maine. Brunswick looks best in winter white. Yes, I know it's "spring," but my town has an offbeat sense of humor. Read the road sign: Maine Street. Brunswick has a population of 20,000, making it the biggest town in Maine. It's a half an hour up the coast from Portland; our biggest city has only 60,000 people. In winter the town green becomes a skating rink. Of course there is a barber shop. The Walls Aro...

Sarah Laurence: Wells Reserve in Maine
http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2015/04/wells-reserve-in-maine.html
Novels, art and life in coastal Maine, as I like it. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Wells Reserve in Maine. To escape the muddy trails of April, we drove an hour south to the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve. Laudholm Beach is open to the public along with several acres of trails through the wetlands. There are loose rocks to cross and tidal pools to hop so hiking boots are prudent. It's well worth it for the calm ocean vista, only a quarter hour drive from busy Kennebunkport. Enjoy the spring air!

Sarah Laurence: Art and Lunch on Bailey Island
http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2008/08/art-and-lunch-on-bailey-island.html
Novels, art and life in coastal Maine, as I like it. Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Art and Lunch on Bailey Island. Harpswell is a collection of islands and a long peninsula, dipping like long fingers into the Atlantic Ocean. I’ve heard it said that Maine has more miles of coastline than California. I don’t know if that’s true, but it sure feels right. Beware of delays if you’re driving as the bridge is being repaired. The Island Romance ferry from Portland. For dinner you’d have to get boiled lobsters...

Larry's Place: October 2008
http://elxgexem.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
What Ever Comes To Mind. Thursday, October 30, 2008. Cat Lo, First Stop. Main Gate at Cat Lo. When we arrived that first morning at pier side, the crew was already at work loading cargo for the next trip up river. I say up river, but as it turned out, we had to go down river first. I’ll get to that a little later. At 0800 we got underway and headed slowly down river, because the river traffic was very congested. This river was only one of the many tributaries of the Mekong Delta, and each one had a n...
