This week I wanted to share with you the beginning of fall here in Northern Maine. I hope you can catch the essence of it through these pictures and video. It really is quite something.
Birds have inspired me. Mixed media in a hand bound book that I’ve been slowly filling.
We visited the Tekαkαpimək Contact Station at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument this past weekend.
Tekαkαpimək is a Penobscot language word for “as far as one can see”, pronounced deh gah-gah bee mook. Tekαkαpimək’s waysides and exhibits orient visitors to the monument, inspiring them to experience Katahdin Woods and Waters from its peaks, trails, and rivers to its ever-changing foliage, brilliant night sky, and abundant wildlife. Interpretation is through a Wabanaki lens in a contemporary context, honoring the past and showing vibrant communities moving sustainably into the future. All Wabanaki Cultural Knowledge and Intellectual Property shared within this project is owned by the Wabanaki Nations – the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, Mi’kmaq Nation, Passamaquoddy Tribe, and Penobscot Nation.

I love this photo taken on the East branch of the Penobscot River at Art in the Park. So much joy!
Love and Light,
