MONHEGAN ISLAND II

With 17 miles of hiking trails. Headlands that will take your breath away.
Monhegan Island is
treasured by islanders, artists, birdwatchers, hikers, sailors and vacationers.

 

 

Graced by Roses

Monhegan Island is known for its beautiful gardens.
I wanted to show the contrast of the freshness of the roses 
against the weathered clapboards of the cottage.
It is a picture of abiding in the vine and the beauty that is produced 
when you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Monhegan Museum and Lighthouse II

The  lighthouse keepers home is now the Monhegan Island Museum
where visitors can view artifacts of island life.
The granite lighthouse continues to faithfully shine it's light out to sea
to guide fishermen and sailors safely to harbor.
Jesus Christ says, I am the light of the world:
he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
 John 8:12

Favorite Chick

As a free range chick on Monhegan,
he waddles around the yard pecking at the ground
as she goes about looking for a morsel to eat.
Always on the move, not a good model, but my favorite
.

On Break

Sea Gulls are fun to watch as they squabble over scraps
 that villagers toss to them, or as they soar so gracefully overhead,
or chase fishing boats hoping for fish scraps to be tossed overboard.
 I was captured this day by their respite from all their activities
 as some rested on the rocks basking in the sun while others preened themselves.
I was seeing and capturing the quieter, restful side of their life.

Monhegan Lighthouse and Museum

Sitting on top of Monhegan Island, the Monhegan Lighthouse and Museum
overlooks the village below, Manana Island and the Atlantic Ocean
(towards the mainland). It holds many artifacts unique to the island life.
The light is a beacon to those at sea,
lighting the way in fog and the darkness of night or storm to safe harbor,
just as Jesus, the Light of the world, 
guides us "out of darkness into His marvelous light".
1 Peter 2:9

Fog's Lifting

The weather of the day - rain and fog.
But as I set up to paint, 
 the fog started to lift and Manana Island came into view.
Struggles in life fog our view.
Before we are able to see the whole picture,

we just need to be still and know the God is God.  Psalm 46:10

Waiting at the Dock

Waiting is hard sometimes.
But it is the best thing we can do and a peaceful place to be.
