The Lobster Shack - pre-tourists!

Bea and I just got back from a weekend in Cambridge. We were helping out with and attending a 40th birthday party for our friend Laura Doty and managed to have a great time, but came back with wicked colds. Unfortunately, I have no pictures from the weekend, which is a shame as I would have loved a snap of Bea's friend and Laura's nine year old daughter Lucia acting as junior babysitter extraordinaire, but I was too busy making mojitos and making sure Bea didn't eat chocolate cake to take pictures.

What I can offer are a few photos I took the day we came back to Maine. It was cold and windy and we headed out to see the crashing waves at Two Lights via the Lobster Shack. It's a beautiful spot and only about a 15 minute drive from our house.

Here we have Bea sitting in one of the cool stone chairs they have erected as functional sculpture.



In this one see if you can spot one of the lighthouses in the background:




While it was a challenge to dissuade Bea from picking all of the tulips in bloom, I looked on lovingly as she picked some Dandelions.




Who can resist the allure of a baby's hand (and wrist roll)?



Here's a very sweet shot of baby Bea...
