Rockport sculpture

Our neighbors Pat & Dave took us today to somewhere in Rockport, a small private garden with beautiful animal sculptures! There was no plaque describing the scene, but it looks to me like one Lioness is ready to pounce on the Ostrich, while her cubs watch and learn nearby …

As a private garden, I could get close only with the zoom lens – the closeup of the lioness suggests more a machined manufacture than by hand, with very regular cuts across the stone.

Dark & bright in Ogunquit

A few days away in Ogunquit, Maine; a storm rolled through this afternoon while we were visiting the beach, and (wet) we escaped back to our hotel room – and then watched as the sun broke through behind the storm, and lit the river in front of us. Beautiful!

The houses in the distance are on beachfront; to the right in the distance where the houses end, you can just see ocean – and that’s the parking lot and beach we were visiting when the storm arrived.
