I'm a children's book writer, a campground owner and a special education teacher's assistant. It makes for a very busy year with lots of writing inspiration.
1. A Walk on the Eastern Prom

Today, my husband and I walked from the Eastern Prom (ME), to the Old Port along a bike/walk path.  Casco Bay was on one side of us, the Narrow Gauge Railway on the other. The sun shone down, the birds were singing, kids rode bikes, joggers passed by and the seagulls called out.

It was a glorious day!

The Narrow Gauge Railway had quite a few passengers.

My husband geo-cached, but I could hear the call of the osprey.  So I searched high and low. Finally, I found them. They were quite a ways away, but I had my camera on me.

Check out this nest!  All the rope mixed in with the sticks.

The one on the nest was hollering like crazy, and I soon figured out why.  Another osprey wanted the nest.

They dove and danced in the air.

Until one of them claimed the platform for themselves.

Even so, the osprey who’d been kicked out, circled overhead for quite awhile, crying out to anyone who would listen.

Lucky for me, it was almost over my head

It looked to me, like he still wasn’t too happy about it.
