One of the things I like best about photography is that it
allows one to time travel. That’s what I’m
going to do today. I’m going back to
August 28 of this year, when Greg and I were in Maine visiting our friends,
Linda and Brian Friedmann.
Linda and Brian own a camp on a beautiful lake in Maine not too far from Acadia. We were lucky to get to spend a
couple nights with them on our way home from Nova Scotia. We were also lucky that they happened to have
four tickets to the opening of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Seal
Harbor. This garden is open to the
public only once a week in late July, August and early September, so we were
very fortunate to get to go.
I don’t think much needs to be said about the beauty of this
place so I will let the photos do the talking.
The walls that surround the garden were
spectacular in their own right. For my
purposes here, I’m going to call them fences, because that’s really their
function and it allows me to hook up with Theresa’s Good Fences.

Oh yes this is a wonderful post. How lucky you got to visit this garden. I loved the 2nd to the last shot. Lots of beauty there for sure.
What a beautiful, enchanting place.

Beautiful garden specially the fence with hole in middle. Would be so nice to wander along the paths.
Wow, a lovely garden.. The flowers and the landscaping is just beautiful. The rocks walls are wonderful.. Have a great day!
Beautiful photos! I love the stone walls!
Those walls qualify as a fence for me. They are great. Thank you for visiting my Vernal Falls Good Fence. Your comment made me smile. Darwin Award candidates without a doubt.

Hi Barbara.. Lovely place and pictures.. Cheers!!!..
You always capture the light so beautifully. The image of the door was my absolute favorite but there were a lot of favorites before that one became the final favorite ;)
The "harp" design in the brick wall is so beautiful. Like a portal to a magical garden. Lovely blooms, too!
wow, you were blessed to get to see all this.. i love that keyhole fence. so beautiful and that first shot of the crevice in the grass is gorgeous
I always find it so refreshing to go walk about in big gardens...beautiful photos all!
Lucky you is right! Love the first with the shadows and that wall is great!
The flowers are gorgeous and those stone walls and the openings are beautiful.
Oh, my goodness, I would love to walk around there! The paths look magical. Is that moss in the first photo? The green is gorgeous. I like the wall, too.
OH YES! It truly is a gorgeous place!
What a beautiful garden and I love the 'fences'. The first photo is so cool looking. I am wondering why there is a crevice in the ground. Beautiful!
