taking advantage of the vantage point

While basking in the peace and quiet at our humble seaside retreat, we try not to venture further than the ocean, a few steps away from our recliners. However, it is with reading material in our lounging position, I admit, we get tempted to visit other stimulating destinations in our favorite state of Maine.

 

And so it was I got *pumped up* reading an article about Winslow Homer's summer studio in Prout's Neck, not too far from our own little artist's cottage! Well, Homer's relatives must pay the GPS system not to help tourists find their way, so we relied on the old-fashioned "map" to get there. More on this to come . . .

 

Meanwhile . . . I hate to admit I did think of "Fence Friday" when I shot this! But quickly I was transported to another place in my mind as I envisioned Homer walking this exquisite "Cliff Walk" for his own inspiration.

“I believe talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.

You can plug into it and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral,

or you can electrocute a person with it. Electricity will do all that.
