Batson River Fish Camp

.

After another week of unsatisfactory carpet shopping I had to throw the husband a bone so we headed for the coast.

.

.

Wells is probably the longest stretch of sandy beach in Maine and is overwhelmed with tourists in the summer.

.

.

But on the off season it’s quiet, which is how we like it.

After a stroll, we headed for beer.

.

.

And while we’ve visited other Batson locations, this was our first trip to the laid back Fish Camp version.

.

.

It was more casual than their other locations.

.

.

With an attractive fishing vibe.

.

.

A few raspberry lime sours in…

.

.

I opted for the duck fat cornbread with maple honey bourbon butter.

.

.

Ooh la la! Sheer perfection.

.

.

As was the digital fireplace that didn’t trigger my hot flashes.

.

.

Not sure what they put on top of this outdoor table to hold down the cover…but it looked like a giant wine cork to me.

😉

.

Can you see him?

.

No, it hasn’t snowed again… but I realized I forgot to post these photos after our last storm so bear with me.

Can you see him?

.

.

How about now?

.

.

That’s our resident Coopers Hawk sitting in the apple tree waiting for lunch to fly by.

.

.

The speed at which he snatched a dove out of the air astounded me … as I had my phone camera pointed right at him when it happened and still didn’t manage to catch the shot.

.

.

Here’s a blurry pic of him sitting on top of his lunch for a split second before he flew away to eat in peace.

.

April showers result…

.

We’ve had nothing but rain and gloomy skies for weeks… so when the sun finally put in an appearance?

.

.

We were rewarded.

.

.

This was a strange rainbow as it was quite low on the horizon…

.

.

But it certainly didn’t dim the beauty.

And since I was standing at the open back door to take pictures, I asked the husband to keep watch over His Lordship so he didn’t slip past me to freedom.

.

.

You can guess how that went.

.

.

Though it did provide me with a nice photo of my two favorite men under a rainbow.

❤️

.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

.

Yes, I’m beating the AI drum again. Be careful what you wish for people, when computers have a mind of their own all bets are off.

And as it turns out, so are your clothes.

.

.

Naked deep fakes are alive and well, just ask Taylor Swift, but this prototype could put the technology in everyone’s hands.

.

.

What’s real? What’s not? And how will we ever be able to tell…

.

.

Welcome to the future.

🥴

.

Someone is a little too interested…

.

Our empty space was filled yesterday.

.

.

And the arrival of our new dining room set was a definite hit with the furry four legged family member.

.

.

He sniffed, he circled, he explored….

.

.

Sometimes a little too much.

It seems like every time I left the room, this happened…

.

.

Which is odd because His Lordship is very well trained not to jump on tables and countertops.

Until now apparently.

.

.

Oh…

That can’t be good.

🥴

Better pics later.
