duck brook
We took a bike ride in Acadia, with many other riders who had the same thought that today would be a good day to ride.
I’ve never been to the Duck Brook Bridge. It was impressive especially since it doesn’t carry cars, just bikes and pedestrians. And maybe carriages, since we were riding on the carriage roads. It was clearly built with people in mind. Little balconies jutted out on either side for viewing from above and an elaborate staircase allowed access to the brook.
We also rode around Eagle Lake. At the end of that route we spotted this very tame heron who nonchalantly groomed him or herself while we observed. I hope the bird was ok, just relatively used to people nearby.
Such beautiful fall colors already … we are just slowly getting some here. Your quilt pictured in yesterday’s post is really coming along nicely. It definitely has grown since the last time I saw it.
The colors are spotty this year, but there are some beautiful individual trees. The quilt is slow, but at least it’s moving!
Gosh, you have the most beautiful places to go explore!
This whole area is mostly beautiful. I hope we can keep it that way.
such cunning bridge construction … so much has been lost in modern day construction, everything from furniture to skyscrapers, so lacking in details that are both visually delightful and structurally functional
Sam remarked on the bridge – it was built 100 years ago (didn’t know at the time, but it was built in 1929) and we are still enjoying it. It was really delightful. More about it here: https://www.nps.gov/places/duck-brook-bridge.htm
