Mackworth Island

…and the Greyhound Station

Friday Evening, July 30

More ocean scenery as we walked on Mackworth Island.

We came to an area where there were many dead trees and small branches. Those walking by were encouraged to use any dead material to build a “fairy village.”

There were many small houses among the trees.

Incase you wondered where our son-in-law Mark is during this trip, we did get to visit with him on Thursday night – before he left on a ten-day trip. (I forgot to take a photo that included him.) He drives motorcoach, and this was a group of people in training to manage baseball teams, so they were visiting a lot of baseball games on the east coast.

By this time we were walking into the sunset.

This is where Lydia took my current profile picture.

The inspiration for this was a couple who was usually ahead of us on the path getting their photos taken. We assumed that it may have been engagement pictures, because the photographer had them kissing a lot.

The road to and from the island.

One of the reasons we were in the Portland, Maine, area, was to go to the Greyhound station to pick up our grandchildren, Hannah and Hezekiah, who had been visiting friends in Florida.

They were glad to see everyone – and to be off the bus after a thirty-hour trip.
