Kutztown Folk Festival

Wilkum!

Entering the gates of the festival you surely feel welcomed.

Good food, good music, great craftsmanship, curious animals and so much more!

Wow.  

How do you follow a great Welcome to a sleigh hearse?!

Come on ~~ its's a sleigh hearse how often do you see one of these?

Homemade birch beer.

Although birch beer isn't my favorite Kutztown soda works produces

one of the best homemade root beer too!

What's the best homemade food?

ICE CREAM!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!!

Why not be comfortable while churning and rock your way to great tasting ice cream.

The streets of Old Sturbridge Village

Old and creaky but sturdy and strong

Means of transportation between villages

The place of worship is always the most sacred part of the village.

The colors of this old barn is intriguing.

Of course every village needs a bank - where else would they keep their money!

Old Sturbridge Village

The softness of the day reflected on all that walked by...

Need a ride from place to place in the village?

Hop on or hop off!

The mill was an notable part of the village.

Eating in Maine

The clam chowder.

Of course the 'clam' crackers too!

Who would put oyster crackers in clam chowder?

Oyster chowder can have oyster crackers....!

The Lobster Roll

In my opinion the roll adds as much as the lobster!

Take out Lobster!

Of course everyone needs a doggie bag!

~or rather cooler full

So many other great Maine foods haven't been shared here but

get to Maine soon and find some of your own!

Cape Neddick ~ Nubble Lighthouse

My second time visiting Nubble was every bit as fascinating as the first.

The vibrant colors and the sounds of the ocean along with the smell of the sea

draw you into a trance.

Along the rocks homes are scattered overlooking the sea.

A closer view makes it appear as a painted picture instead of reality.

Cape Porpoise and Goat Island Lighthouse ~ Maine

It seems no body of water sits empty, there's always 

some kind of floating device is ready for a troll.

Goat Island Lighthouse

--taken from the pier in Cape Porpoise

Maine colors with rocks included!

Not to be missed!

Even weeds take on a special character in the Fall.

At the pier in Cape Porpoise

Lobster on the menu tonight!

Did you lose your buoy?

Maybe it wound up here!

Every harbor in Maine is a 'working' harbor.

Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Enter and find the sea and a day of relaxation!

Old Orchard Beach

Feeling clammy all by oneself!

All clear on a cool Fall day, but come Summer look for a good spot to settle in for a while!

All your friends can come with you when the beach is empty!
