A Wonderful Way to Celebrate the End of Summer

9/2/2013

2 Comments

 
Maine was calling my name.  Again.  So, I answered the call -- again -- and planned a quick three-day getaway to my favorite spot to celebrate the end of summer.
 
It wasn't in my plans but sometimes plans are overrated.  It started when I received a note from Katherine Gray, a Maine- and New York-based watercolor artist.  I purchased one of her paintings during my June visit, mentioning to the gallery lady that I had another painting by Kay that I bought many years ago on a previous visit to Georgetown.
 
Kay wrote to ask about the other painting, and we exchanged a few notes.  She invited me to visit her when I was in Georgetown the next time. That was enough of an invitation for me. I stopped to see her at her home in Five Islands and we had a lovely chat with a glass of wine.  She showed me her studio -- a small building on the corner of her
property which overlooks Sheepscot Bay.  My fingers were itching to shoot a photo or two, but I managed to
restrain myself.
 
Kay paints the Maine coastline and anything else that catches her eye.  You can visit her website to see her work: 
www.katherinegray.zenfolio.com.  What can I say?  I'm a fan.
 
I gave my new camera (Canon T3i) a good workout, shooting about 800 images in two days.  I spent five happy hours at the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden -- most of the photos in the Recent Additions Gallery were taken there. The rest were taken in and around Georgetown and Five Islands, and at Coveside B&B, my Maine home away from home. 
 
One morning dawned perfectly clear and sunny, then the fog rolled in. Then rolled out, then back in ... in the middle of a sunny afternoon.  Lobster on the wharf, in the fog with some Coveside guests, was the perfect way to end my late summer visit.  I do love a good fog.  Creepy and cool at the same time.
 
All in all, it was a great summer.
