Martha's Vineyard and Round Pond

4th of July - The Vineyard.

My favorite holiday done right. First, a slow morning. The view from the porch.



Then to the beach. Aquinnah.







Then to the market. Normally on the 4th of July I grill up a mess of burgers and hot dogs. This year we took a more site-specific approach.

Burgers.



Hot dogs.



I heard them scream.







Lobsters and oysters on the Fourth. We have ourselves a new tradition.



Michael will eat that.



Finished the night at Lambert's Cove, swimming in the phosphorescence and watching the fireworks overhead. So very nice.

Lobster makes us happy. Beer makes us drunk.

Pemaquid Peninsula.

Pemaquid beach.



This guy is for Obama.





Near Damariscotta, Maine.



Maybe one of my favorite places in New England. The swimming hole at Bristol Dam. Simple fun.

Round Pond, Maine

Round Pond. Notice the little inlet--that is the way into/out of the cove from Muscongus Sound and the Atlantic.





6 Molly's Cove Rd.









If you're ever in Round Pond, look out for this guy. The Phantome - aka the French Element.



Sunset from the dinghy looking back at the compound.







Maine is good.
