Snowy Shots Of Maine From Cheryl Dulong
Cheryl Dulong, who is one of the house staff at Skylands, my home on Mt. Desert Island, Maine, kindly sends her photographs my way to share with all of you on my blog. I rarely get to see the rugged Maine terrain during the winter months and I was so happy to view these stunning shots of a snowy Skylands and surrounding environs. Mind you, winter doesn't officially begin until December 21st! Burr!
