the place is just THICK with wild roses; just beautiful!
they've all pretty much gone to rose hips; looks like cherry tomatos to me
would have loved to see them a month or so ago

Rugosa Rose, R. rugosa This is the tough, thorny shrub with the deeply-veined dark green leaves. If they’re in flower (heavily in June), you’ll see both red and white types, and in late summer, the famous rugosa apple-shaped hips are quite showy. These beautiful shrubs are so tough, they’re grown everywhere from fancy rose gardens to grocery store parking lots. The rugosas are native to the Far East, and neither salt spray nor bitter cold hurts them a bit. In fact they will grow almost anywhere with sun, from northern Canada to our southern beaches.

Where is Rogue's Bluff?

North of Bar Harbor, off Rt 1. Englishman's Bay, kinda near Machias.

Narragansett.......Boy, do I hear you Imagine how icky life would be without the beaches I think the Sierra Club's old motto used to be something like......
'if there is magic on the planet, it is contained in water'

No wonder it didn't look familiar, I've never been north of Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor is one of those MDing "sleeper towns" The history there is incredible. An old playground for the rich, until a forest fire nearly wiped it out. Many mansions destroyed. A horse racing track, yacht and canoe clubs. I always said that it would be one of the best bets in Maine to find a gold coin. And then, of course, Machias (pirate stronghold/northern hideout) is right near there.

Great pics!.........HH
