It's off to the Little Pond and the Oxford Hills of Maine- Sky Watch Friday



That's right, we're off to Maine again. This will be Weston's first trip to Little Pond, and to we're wondering how our little guy (almost 3 months old) will fare on his first commercial jet airliner journey. I've been on the flights with "the" crying baby, and this time, that baby could be Weston. Then again, he's been a great baby, and he doesn't cry very much, so we have our fingers crossed. We'll be ready to give him what he needs on the trip.

No real plans once we get there, but I'll be sure to check out the woodland flora, and I sure would love to get down to the coast for a whale watch. I've never been to my in-laws in May, and I'm hoping to see and photograph painted trillium and fringed polygala in bloom. You can keep in touch with our status by checking back here and by following OHTom at twitter. While we're in Maine, I've added my last five twitter updates to the blog's righy sidebar, so be sure to check twitter or here for the latest and greatest from the Pine Tree State. And the in-laws now have satellite internet, so I'll be uploading photos each day. Here are a few views from previous trips to Little Pond.





Aren't these skies grand? Go here for more Sky Watch Fridays.

Ok...This is addition. After talking about Weston, I realized I hadn't posted a picture of him in a while. As many of you are aware, babies grow amazingly fast and change quickly. Here is a shot from Thursday evening, May 21st.
