Photos of the Day - Tidal Falls visit

Today we had to take a trip out to Tidal Falls in Hancock County, ME to run an errand, so we took the time to spend a little time looking around. First I noticed these beautiful flowers that were covering some bushes that had been planted to make the place look "landscaped". I want to say they are roses of some sort, but the leaves don't really look right for a rose. If you know what they are, please post a comment!

I think the most exciting thing that happened is that my intern spotted a Seal fishing in the bay! It would only pop its head out of the water very briefly, so I only got one shot of it and although it isn't a very good shot, I decided to post it here anyway. This is the first Seal we have seen since we came to Maine on May 15th! Hopefully we will see more another day.
