in case you wondered....the header photo was taken at pemaquid point in maine...it was my mother's favorite place to go and just sit and read....after my father died, she often went after work to just ponder, probably pray, and soak in sea air and sunshine. when i was there, we always visited. i wish i could have taken her more times. the black stripes in the rock are called dikes, cooled molten lava...there is a lighthouse there and a lovely little restaurant. the restaurant burned a few years ago but was rebuilt. it is one of the many, many beautiful spots in maine, seldom over-run with tourists....no beach but oh the view. lobster boats can often be seen hauling traps...if you love the ocean and get to maine, it is a must.
