For those of you not lucky enough to live in my beautiful state, here’s a peek at what you might see on any given day.

.

.

Lobster. It’s everywhere.

Even at the gas station.

When you live on an island like I did, you party near the water on beaches, near the water on piers, and sometimes…

.

.

On the water itself.

These are pictures from a friend of mine who’s in a local band.

.

.

The concert was staged on a float….

.

.

Which means concert goers had to float as well.

And finally… I doubt there’s anything more iconic about Maine than a traditional lobster bake. If you’ve never attended one, you should. There’s nothing quite like it.

The food… lobster, clams, potatoes, corn, onions and eggs are all covered with seaweed and burlap and set to steam over a wood fire.

.

.

Clams and potatoes are wrapped in tinfoil.

.

.

It’s a slow process but well worth the wait.

.

.

Just don’t forget the butter.
