Southwest Harbor

We went in search of the lobster pound.  It was pretty foggy and not too warm for July.  We came across this place with all the lobster bouys on it and Bob thought it was really cool and had to take a picture. I think he'd like to do that to our house, but it might look kind of funny as we are no where near the ocean

                 Doesn't this look yummy? Oh and the lobster looks good too!                      

    

Wild Roses smell awesome!

This is the Carroll Homestead in Southwest Harbor.  It was built in 1825 for John and Rachel Carroll and succeeding generations until 1917 and then later used for summer family gatherings.

It was later donated to Acadia National Park as a museum and historic farm.

It was interesting to learn about what they did for fun before computers!

I love wildflowers!

It was so peaceful.  The house was all alone in a clearing in the woods.

Then we went to see the Bass Harbor Lighthouse.

It's hard to get a picture of the front unless you are in the ocean in a boat.  Bob was perched precariously on some rocks on the cliff to take this picture.  I waited closer to shore.

We also visited the Wendall Gilley Museum of Bird Carving.

And we went to the Seal Cove Auto Museum on the way back.
