The best part about this island is the fact that I keep discovering new roads and paths that lead to new places. I seem to always find something new and different to keep me excited about what this island has to offer. If it's not nature offering something different, it's the people I meet. Working in the gallery down town is proving to be a great way to meet people from all different corners of the world with completely different backgrounds. I'm really loving the ever changing and every surprising melting pot that Bar Harbor and Mt Desert Island are proving to be.
Here's another exploration that led to more discoveries...A small tide pool-that's for you Michael!-and a poor starfish that didn't seem to make it through the changing tide...
Here's some photographs from the Margaret Todd, a boat that sails out every evening for a sunset cruise. Local workers can ride anytime for free--yay!--and it was a great experience. There was a lack of wind which was slightly disappointing as far as being in a sailboat, but apart from that it was a really nice end to the day. There was a man playing a guitar and singing, three giant Newfoundland dogs, and thankfully a not so large crowd. There was a man with a bottle of wine and a small glass that he brought with him which I think was a fantastic idea--and permitted. He's a local who frequents the Todd while the season allows. Once July and August hit, there's almost no chance of finding an open seat on the boat for a free locals trip, but up until then, I think I'd like to join him in his frequent sailing. The pictures aren't as fantastic as the sunset was in person, but I think they're still rather pleasant...

Isn't it amazing how light it is all the time at these norther latitudes? Dawn is at 4:40am, dusk at 9:40. I've never had so much Vitamin D in my life and it makes me thrilled.
Thanks so much for the comments on the logos. It was exactly what I was looking for and agree with your thoughts completely. I told a co-worker today that I thought the vegetation one looked more like "defoliage." Guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
hahaha... huh?
Hey!
Wow, you're work sounds CRAZY. I hope that things have settled down in a bit. I guess I'd say that you'll be fine either way. On one hand, you'll stick with the same job and on the other hand, you'll have to look for something new, but it'll be easier the 2nd time around. You're more familiar with the area by now. You're also talented and successful enough so I'm not concerned for you.
I'll probably have some more stuff for you to review by the end of the week. Now that the big board meeting is over, I have to reorient myself and set some new deadlines (self-imposed deadlines are always the hardest).
I'm not sure what new personal work I want to create. I just saw Wall-E, which you HAVE to see, and I'm so inspired by their seemingly effortless ability to weave narrative and give personality/emotion to the most inanimate of objects (which of course you would totally get). So maybe it's time I try to create an illustrated narrative (gosh, a book?).
I'll try to send something your way (4th of July Weekend should be productive). What's your address? Mines 401 Gladstone, Apt 2, Bellingham WA, 98225
