Snow Shots from Mt. Desert
You may recall last June, when Cheryl DuLong, one of my housekeepers in Maine, sent me some of her photographs, which I shared on this blog. As I stated then, Cheryl loves hiking and photography and makes a habit of rising early to enjoy and to document nature. Her photos of Jordan Pond, taken last summer, were simply amazing. I have not been able to travel to Skylands in quite some time and knowing how much I like to see that area in all seasons, Cheryl sent these great photos that she took recently using her Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS. Enjoy!
