A Moment of Beauty, June 10th, 2012
On a clear day, you can see almost forever…or at least from Hope to Liberty, Freedom and points north and west in Maine…. Today we went for a walk onto a neighbor’s hilltop / blueberry barren, and it was glorious. There were some woods on one side, but I stood and took photos in an almost-complete circle…more than 270 degrees. When I got home, I discovered my Photoshop Elements would create a panorama for me automatically. I fiddled a little to fine tune it, so here is a hilltop in Hope, Maine, about noon today:
Clearly it was GLORIOUS! The puppy was hot and panting though it is only about 70 degrees outside.
Here are two shots, larger and not collaged, of the view:
I spotted some rocks that might be good for doing rubbings (grin), and these little gems will be wild Maine blueberries ready to eat in about two months–the flower is bunchberry, a form of low-growing dogwood (cornus canadensis I think):
Then we meandered home:
I feel somewhat guilty, that I have neglected the blog. I’ve been busy with end-of-year for our 8th grader (graduates Thursday), house stuff, quilting/work stuff, and generally not working myself into a ground up pulp. I promise before too long I’ll take a few days and do nothing but write blogposts, prep the photos etc.! Hope you are all having a wonderful early summer, Cheers, Sarah

Looks as if you had a wonderful walk. Looking forward to seeing more blog entrees from you.
