As if on cue, one youngster visited my bird feeder in the wee hours one morning this past August. After devouring the bird seed, it took off but not before I was able to take a couple of pictures and a video with the aid of a spot light. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This bear is estimated at 100 lbs and was later spotted at other bird feeders a couple of miles from my place.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in Southern Maine where we don't generally get a glimpse of these elusive creatures - except at the <a href="http://www.maine.gov/ifw/education/wildlifepark/index.htm">Maine Wildlife Park</a> in Gray, so it was a rare treat to see one out my window! Note: the bird seed was put away for a few weeks so no more free food to encourage him to stick around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Contrasting, here are beautiful views of Casco Bay and the Atlantic Ocean off the Southern Maine coastline.<br />
<br />
<br />
A recent weekend, the State offered free entrance into State Parks to individuals with a 'Loon Plate', the Conservation Resources vehicle license plate; I totally had to take advantage of the offer as I have one on my Toyota Forerunner! It was a beautiful sunny day and nearby Two Lights State Park in the town of Cape Elizabeth offers expansive views of the ocean. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I just got back from the Allagash Wilderness Waterway into the North Maine Woods </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- a fabulous adventure!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Highlighted in my Maine Atlas, the 6 hour travel route brought me through Greenville from Falmouth and continued on through Kokadjo to the 70 miles of dirt roads (Golden Road and Ragmuff the most famous of these roads) I would travel to my final destination on Round Pond just south of Allagash Lake. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Keeping an eye out for wildlife, my travel companions and I were not disappointed: Eagles, deer, moose, groundhogs, ruffed grouse, coyote, osprey, woodcock are some of the critters that were spotted. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Maine Moose</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(affectionately nicknamed swamp donkeys)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alongside of Caribou Lake, entering into the North Maine Woods - a remote region that comprises landowners from individual families to priviate coporations, conservaion organizations and state-owned land - (check out www.northmainewoods.org ), a stop at the Checkpoint is required. Land use and camping fees assist the landowners to keep this region open to visitors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While traveling on the North Maine Woods roads, which are built and maintained to move wood products, keep your vehicle lights on. Logging trucks have right of way, so when one is approaching from either direction, pull over to allow them to pass safely.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Getting to the flea market booths and veggie stands in the early mornings, you can take your pick of quarts or flats of the juicy berries just harvested from the fields.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> With that in mind, here are a few of my creations celebrating berries!</span><br />

After a bit of searching, I found that vintage Blythes can get pricey (thousands of dollars on E-Bay), I turned to Hong Kong where I found this cute Takara Tomy Punkaholic People Blythe doll and I couldn't resist importing her! <br />
<br />
Here are a couple of designs that I sized to fit these big-headed, but enchanting dolls. <br />

His life spared from an unknown violent encounter that left its mark as just-barely healing scars on his neck and hind legs, a little stray cat stopped by my back door looking for some food and a dry lap. Purring his gratitude at my tasty offering, he quickly made himself comfortable. The little black and white traveler, content with a full belly, stayed for a day, then a week, then a year, never compelled to leave.Babbidge Patchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01828089667084269658noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283585683149602159.post-79806030626957112122010-02-28T08:14:00.000-05:002010-03-03T05:22:53.319-05:00Etsy Supply Street Team - Team ESST - Sale Event ~ now over but check the link below for the fabulous members of Team ESST Shops!Check out this forum for fabulous supply sales & specials ~ Great time to stock up from your favorite Esty suppliers:<br />
