Heading to Old Orchard Beach and forgot the sunscreen? No worries, they now have free sunscreen dispensers.

I don't know what it is....the older I get I get more and more enamored with birds. I love hearing them, seeing them, feeding them, Im fascinated by their migratory path and impressed with those that brave the Maine winters here...yes, I'm looking at you black capped chickadee...

Due to the relatively mild winter we had, this spring is just over flowing with ticks. I've already had several encounters myself, as well as on the dogs, and that's even extensive lawn and yard treatments.

Fish ladders are nothing new. They’ve been around for centuries. And they all serve the same purpose - to get migrating fish over it and around a barrier. These fish are on their way to spawn, ensuring their survival. Around Maine there are several examples of these architectural marvels...

Did you know that the State of Maine has the highest population of black bears in the contiguous U.S. and this is the time of year when they are very active mostly due to that rumbly in the tumbly. They will be active all summer into to fall but right now in the early spring the natural foods bears love to eat are scarce...

One of the thing I really like about this time of year is you can get outside and enjoy some pretty robust exercise before it gets too hot, and not have to deal with many insects, now if someone would pass that info on to the ticks we would truly be golden...

Welcome to the Langlais Sculpture Preserve. You can see the Trojan horse along with many other larger than life sculptures at 576 River Road in Cushing...

One of the rights of passage here in Maine when it comes to spring is the opening of the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray. According to WGME-TV, the park is slated to open for the season in two weeks on April 15th. If you've been to the Maine Wildlife Park before you know that they do a wonderful job of showcasing over 30 different species of wildlife that are native to the State of Maine...

Did you know that only Maine and Massachusetts ban hunting on Sundays. It all goes back to those blue laws that many hold onto tightly, and others feel are old and outdated and need to be changed. Of course there has been several attempts to repeal the "no hunting on Sundays" laws to no avail...
