“The Bass Harbor Head Light Station is located in Tremont, Maine, marking the entrance to Bass Harbor and Blue Hill Bay on the southwest corner of Mount Desert Island. Among about 80 lighthouses across Maine, it is one of three lights managed by Acadia National Park, including two others on Baker Island and Bear Island. It appeared on the America the Beautiful quarter in 2012, the NPS centennial postage stamp in 2016, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.”~ NPS Acadia National Park protects more than 47,000 acres and is known for its large moose populations and suitable habitats."

Fun Feathers
Day 29 ~ SE-29-25 "Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worthwhile, and it will do you a world of good." ~ Cennino Cennini I had a private drawing class here today, and my student and I created these 'Fun Feathers' together. If you are not having fun, why do it? “Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.” ~ Aberjhani
