Blue Hill Peninsula of Maine

I’m visiting a relative who lives in Maine’s Blue Hill Peninsula, and today she gave us a tour of the area including Deer Island. The area is a combination of forests, grasslands, and seashore, which one visits via very windy and hilly roads. On these roads and in the few towns of the area are beautiful old houses. Many of the houses have beautiful gardens that seem to show how much the residents relish the summer and relief of the long, cold winters. The residents of the area also use lobster buoys for various non-lobster uses including decorating.
