The Blueberry Barren is neither blue nor barren at this time of the year!

 Please enjoy walking around Blueberry Hill with me on this bracing Autumn day in beautiful Maine. There's Blue Hill in the distance and Penobscot Bay in between.

 The colours vary from vivid red through to a lovely muted straw yellow and at this time of the day when I took the pictures...about 4pm in the afternoon.... somehow the colours just seem to glow from within...it is a sight to behold and only for a few days more.

 How many hands and hours went into building this stone wall so many years ago?

 Looking off towards Appleton Ridge

Now for a cup of steaming hot tea and some buttery toast......

Exhausted but elated!!

Well James and I managed to place his three metal sculptures at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and here are pics of them in situ as I promised in my last posting. The locations of the three pieces are really great thanks to the foresight of Suzette McAvoy, the show's curator. Have to admit we nearly gave ourselves hernia's placing "Leap, run, leaping" (top photograph) atop the grassy knoll and we were absolutely knackered by the time we were finished, but all is worthwhile in the name of art.........isn't it??? Hope you get the chance to see the sculptures at the gardens, their colours work really well in their respective sites...the red is amazing against the green vegetation, James choose the colour which is the exact complementary opposite wavelength of the green leaves to make the sculptures "jazz" and the blue of "Girl Facing North East" (bottom photograph) is a beautiful complement to the lovely light mushroom of the building trim. Well done James! Now go take a nap!
