I do hope you get to see and hear them, as they are so mysterious and beautiful. Their calls are varied and very plaintive... They give me shivers sometimes.<br /><br />Wishing you well, my dear, and a joyous week ahead with your family!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-87908093525258747142009-07-04T14:35:21.852-07:002009-07-04T14:35:21.852-07:00ROBIN - I'm still reeling from learning that y...ROBIN - I'm still reeling from learning that your earliest experience with nature was here in Maine, because Maine has long been so symbolic for me, of a (mostly) unspoiled ecosystem. I just LOVE the feeling of wilderness (well, ALMOST wilderness...) surrounding me, and I'm filled with peace.<br /><br />I certainly will say "hello" for you. One day maybe we will canoe together and watch the sunset from my favorite granite boulder in the middle of the lake! I would love to share it with you.<br /><br />Peace and beauty to you, my friend. :)Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-86273929845506832612009-07-04T14:30:59.318-07:002009-07-04T14:30:59.318-07:00KIM - Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.

My he...Oh dear Lynda, you KNOW I love these photos. My heart cries out to be there. <br /><br />This looks like so many places I lived in Maine. I grew up on Lake Pennesseewassee in western Maine and I canoed that lake all summer long. Often from one end to the other. Then many years later I own a house way up in northern Maine near Baxter State Park and these photos remind me of all the dead waters I canoed up there. I recognize the cat-o'-nine-tails, the pickerel weed, the water lilies and can even remember the smell of the water and pine and all of it. <br /><br />It is sooooo deeply imprinted on my soul that I only have close my eyes and I can hear, smell, feel it all. Have you ever been in Maine in the autumn? Oh my word it is to die for. And yes, the pitch-black star filled nights with the milky way spread across the arch of the sky is like no where I've ever seen it since. I am deeply move by these photos and your thoughts. <br /><br />Do me a favor and walk outside one day or night and tell Maine I miss her and am loving her. She will remember me. <br /><br />Hugs, <br />RobinRobin Eastonhttp://wwww.nakedineden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-21565441733087615272009-06-27T09:40:59.478-07:002009-06-27T09:40:59.478-07:00What beautiful photographs!

It is sometimes difficult to find the right translation for me. <br />I have not seen these birds ever in the wild but have watched lots of docus in TV and heard their magical song.

And of course, they have those RED eyes that send boat-gawkers like us running when we move too close! <br /><br />They have amazing feeding habits, all together in a diving circle to corral the fish!<br /><br />I don't know what kind of bird you are referring to when you say "cobbles," so I can't tell you if they're similar.<br /><br />Great to see you, Petra!

I've been busy with work and don't always get time to reply to comments these days.<br />Hope your house building is going well.. remember that winter comes early up there in the north country! Not sure if you've mentioned how far north you are, but my dad's family came from Berwick near the southern border and we used to vacation some summers in Ogunguit and Wells Beach when I was a kid... I hated the cold water. My dad still likes to take a trip to the northern lakes area every year in the fall, after the mosquitos and black flies have died out:)... and I still recall how peaceful and beautiful Maine is. Your photos capture it perfectly. Excellent work, as always.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-50561759999958983782009-06-23T10:21:25.475-07:002009-06-23T10:21:25.475-07:00Lynda, so lovely photos!

One word comes to mind when looking at them: peace!<br />My favourites are: the turtle's "heads up" (so cute); the Nuphars "Emerging Lilies" (also from the family of the Nymphaea Lotus: they symbolise harmony, balance, strength) and "Emerald Grasses" - these are an absolute marvel :D!<br /><br />"Being in Maine makes me feel at peace" - et voilá...the word peace :).
