The Donkey Conveys

Leaving Moosehead Lake in Maine, we found this relic on the side of the road, causing a quick turnaround to take some shots. Luckily, the owners of the property were nearby, and they allowed me to have a look around (but not inside, thankfully.)

I was a bit surprised when I went around the back of the house and found a donkey on a line. Yes, a real donkey. Although I tried to avoid him, he kept coming after me, either looking for a handout or a free portrait.

I didn’t have any food on hand.

While visiting coastal Maine recently, we went for a nice day hike in the Blagden Preserve, a little-known spot on the ‘quiet side’ of Mount Desert Island. The area, now owned by the Nature Conservancy, features a loop hike that leads out to some beautiful water views.

On the return through maritime forest, we were more than a bit surprised to see the remains of an old Dodge sitting just off the trail. With no roads nearby, it was a curiosity. Apparently, there either used to be a road or driveway here, or the old beast had been hauled off into the woods. Either way, it made for an interesting, almost spooky scene.
