The Tranquil Hour in Acadia

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:28:00 +0000

Arrived home last night...just in time to capture the end of the 'tranquil hour'

“When the day changed …………..
… Settled to rest, and for a tranquil hour
The lengthening bluish shadows on the snow
…………..Flooded the earth with beauty and with peace.”
Quotes from the Poem: The Winter Scene by Bliss Carman

A Visitor "With an Eye that Fires and a Spell that Charms"

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:45:00 +0000

We had a magestic vistor in our cove on Long Pond this AM... (sorry we could not get a close up shot)

The Eagle (by James Gates Percival)
Bird of the broad and sweeping wing
Thy home is high in heaven,
Where wide the storms their banners fling,
And the tempest clouds are driven.
Thy throne is on the mountain top;
Thy fields---the boundless air;
And hoary peaks that proudly prop
The skies, thy dwellings are.

This is how I imagine him this AM...circling our cove, looking for his breakfast

"My prey I seek with piercing eye,

grasp with talon strong.

Then lift into the endless sky

to sing my victory song."

(Don R. Wilkins)

"With an eye that fires, and a spell that charms " (James Gates Percival)

Wise Trees Sleeping in the Cold

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:26:00 +0000

Winter Trees
Poem By William Carlos Williams 1883–1963

All the complicated details

of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!

A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.

Thus having prepared their buds

against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.

(Thank you, artist Gail Ribas for sharing your painting

"Oh the Places You'll go and the People You'll Meet"

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 01:26:00 +0000

What a great event at the Somesville Village Library this AM...
"Oh the places you'll go"(Dr. Seuss)

Our Little Library on Somes Harbor

A fabulous and fun Dr. Seuss Costume party and free children's program... (click link for photo album)

("who says we can't carry on the fun of Halloween just a little bit longer")

The Library's Children's Program director, Jen Wales and helpers put together a wonderful collection of books from one of our favorite authors along with crafts, activities and of course- unusually colored snacks.

Many thanks to the staff , library board trustees...and volunteers....and to the many young families who attended the event. ("and the People You'll Meet")...

"You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.

You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead."

"You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!"

"Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best."

"And will you succeed?Yes! You will, indeed!"

"And when things start to happen,don't worry.

Don't stew.Just go right along.You'll start happening too."

"Kid, You'll Move Mountains"

"There is fun to be done!

There are points to be scored.

there are games to be won."

"Wherever you go, you will top all the rest."

"With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,

you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street."

"You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing".

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes....
You can steer yourself any direction you choose"

"Beauteous, Golden, Autumn days!"

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:12:00 +0000

Autumn Days (Author: Will Carleton)
Yellow, mellow, ripened days,Sheltered in a golden coating;

O'er the dreamy, listless haze,

White and dainty cloudlets floating;

Winking at the blushing trees, And the sombre, furrowed fallow;

Smiling at the airy ease
Of the southward-flying swallow.

Sweet and smiling are thy ways,
Beauteous, golden, Autumn days!

"I Love the Stillness of the Woods."

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:45:00 +0000

I love the Stillness of the Woods
(Lewis Carroll )

I love the stillness of the wood:
I love the music of the rill:
I love to couch in pensive mood
Upon some silent hill. -

Thank you Stephen for the photo of Christin's Pensive Pose

Scarce heard, beneath you arching trees,

The silver-crested ripples pass;

Thank you, Michael Walsh for capturing the 'stillness of the woods' in Acadia

And, like a mimic brook, the breeze
Whispers among the grass. -

Awe-Struck in Acadia

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:49:00 +0000

The Red Sunsets II, 1883 Mathilde Blind
"The boding sky was charactered with cloud,
The scripture of the storm--but high in air,

Where the unfathomed zenith still was bare,
A pure expanse of rose-flushed violet glowed

And, kindling into crimson light, o'erflowed ,
The hurrying wrack with such a blood-red glare,

That heaven, igniting, wildly seemed to flare ,
On the dazed eyes of many an awe-struck crowd."

(and , this evening...in Acadia...an awe-struck GramEpat!..)

Heaven is Where You Are

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:53:00 +0000

"I'll build a stairway to heaven..cause Heaven is where you are."

Our little bit of 'Heaven on Earth' in Acadia
'Heaven on Earth' is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.
Dr. Wayne Dyer

Clouds..Fluttering and Dancing in the Breeze

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 01:00:00 +0000

“I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills, ...

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
Wordsworth

A Cloud withdrew from the Sky
Superior Glory be………..
Emily Dickinson

“Low-anchored cloud,
…………Drifting meadow of the air,
…………Spirit of lakes and seas and rivers”
Henry David Thoreau

As I pedaled in the cove this evening, I found myself humming this old Joni Mitchell tune...

♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ •♫♪ I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now ♪♫

Something's gained ♫ in living every day..♪

"Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another Year"

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:53:00 +0000

"If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before."
Mitchell Burgess (From TV series Northern Exposure, Thanksgiving, 1992.)

As we 'close up the drapes on another year', our hearts are filled with gratitude.

A special thanks to our 'paying house guests' at Acadia Pines Chalets.

Bob and I hope that your Maine vacation in Acadia National Park far exceeded your expectations.

We look forward to your return visit to Mount Desert Island. http://www.epatfoster.com/

"Splendor of Ended Day" in Acadia

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 03:37:00 +0000

Quotes from Song at Sunset (by Walt Whitman) ...

"SPLENDOR of ended day, floating and filling me! "

Views from my window on a rainy October evening in Acadia

"You, Earth and Life, till the last ray gleams, I sing. "

"Illustrious the passing light! "

"Illustrious whatever I see, or hear, or touch, to the last. "

"Wonderful to be here! "

"How the clouds pass silently overhead! "

"How the trees rise and stand up—with strong trunks—with branches and leaves! "
"O amazement of things! "

"O setting sun! though the time has come,
I still warble under you, ....., unmitigated adoration."

Beautiful Spirits are Breathing Now

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 11:38:00 +0000

"There is a beautiful spirit breathing now

Its mellow richness on the clustered trees,

And, from a beaker full of richest dyes,

Pouring new glory on the autumn woods,

And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds."

(Autumn…by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

Where the Wild Things Are

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:56:00 +0000

"People need wild places. Whether or not we think we do, we do. We need to be able to taste grace and know again that we desire it.

We need to experience a landscape that is timeless, whose agenda moves at the pace of speciation and glaciers.

Photo of Acadia , by my friend Ben Kimball

To be surrounded by a singing, mating, howling commotion of other species, all of which love their lives as much as we do ours, and none of which could possibly care less about us in our place.

It reminds us that our plans are small and somewhat absurd. It reminds us why, in those cases in which our plans might influence many future generations, we ought to choose carefully.

Looking out on a clean plank of planet earth, we can get shaken right down to the bone by the bronze-eyed possibility of lives that are not our own." - Barbara Kingsolver

Come visit Acadia National Park...."Where the Wild Things Are"

Getting Back Up is Living

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:31:00 +0000

I recently saw this quote posted on Twitter (@gramepat) and Facebook (Pat Cooney Foster) ...and wanted to share these words of wisdom...

An old woman once said.."There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, GETTING BACK UP IS LIVING."

"Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off. And Start all over again"

This 'old woman' loves 'getting back up and LIVING'...in Acadia National Park....

All the Old Familiar Places

noreply@blogger.com (GramE Pat) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 01:26:00 +0000

Tonight as I was coming home from my office, I had all I could do to keep my eyes on the road and concentrate on my driving....
The sky was a kaleidoscope of colors...
I found myself humming an 'Oldie but a Goodie'...

"I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places "...

"I'll find you in the mornin' sun..."

"I'll find you in the mornin' sun"
"And when the night is new..."

"And when the Night is New"

"I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you ! "

(I see you, Mom..."in all the old familiar places ...that this heart of mine embraces ...

...In everything that's light and gay. I'll always think of you that way." )

If you can't be with the ones you love, Love the ones you're with!

Belated Happy Valentine's Day Greetings to "the ones I'm with".
