Pencil Sketches from the Schoodic Peninsula

Jeff and I took a drive down the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park on our last day there.  There were many beautiful sights, and I made some pencil sketches of some of them!

There was a picnic area at a place called Frazier Point.  They had a sort of walking bridge out onto the middle of the channel where the tide would come in and go out.  At the foot of the steps to this bridge were some lovely wildflowers and wild roses that worked into a lovely pencil sketch.  I also decided to crop the piece so that it looks more like a true sketch would look.

A little bit after seeing the flowers at Frazier Point, we saw a lighthouse, the Winter Harbor Lighthouse.  Winter Harbor is the name of a small fishing village at the beginning of the Schoodic Peninsula, and this lighthouse was, it seems, named after the village.

Waves Crashing at Winter Harbor Lighthouse

Schoodic Point offered us a chance to walk down on some rather flat rocks to check out the waves crashing along them.  The seagulls also seemed to enjoy soaking in the sun and having such easy access to the water when they felt the need to seek out food!
