This odd little shack is located on Chauncey Creek River in Kittery Point. Maine. It is part of the Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier, where you can get a boiled lobster and eat it right on the pier. This popular establishment has been around since 1948. I peeked in the windows and inside is full of potted plants, a rug, chair and a small sofa. Somebody has got a great little retreat on the river.
Early Morning Mist
I drive by this little lake just about every morning. Today it seemed so dreamlike with the early morning mist. A Canadian goose was in the water close to the shore. Unfortunately, he didn’t stick around to pose for me. The little black spot in the ripple of water at the bottom right is my goose swimming away. It’s still a pretty picture.
Petey’s Lobster Pound
I was driving along the coastal road, when I passed Rye Harbor and caught sight of the old lobster shack. Petey’s Lobster Pound has been around for just about forever. The old wooden structure has weathered many storms and seasons.
What is so eye catching is how it’s decorated with all the tools of the trade. The lobster buoys and traps and the paintings depict the folk art of the coast.
In just a few weeks, Petey’s doors will open offering this area’s most popular fare – lobster. But for now, Petey’s doors are closed, waiting for the chilly weather to turn warm.
Spring Bike
You know it’s spring in New Castle, NH, when you round the corner and see this familiar decoration. Last winter the bike was all adorned with greenery and lights, now it’s a feast of spring finery.
Sweet Misery
Wandering around where the boats are put up for the winter at Rye Harbor in New Hampshire, I came upon this huge vessel. I can’t help but wonder what is behind the name, “Sweet Misery.”
As Ice Melts
I sit in my car and watch the ice on my windshield turn to streams of water revealing the first colors of spring.
Purple and Green
Wandering the rows of plants and flowers at Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford, NH, I came across these interesting purple flowers surrounded by so many textures of greenery. I wish I could shrink myself like “Alice in Wonderland” and explore this world of green and purple.
