Sculptures by the Sea<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

June is here and Summer and spring are still tussling over dominance. One day is hot and humid, while the next requires a jacket and a hat.<\/p>\n

But that’s New England for you.<\/p>\n

This month, we have an interesting prompt to continue our season of\u00a0Landscapes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I took this picture in Maine on the grounds of The Ogunquit Museum of American Art<\/a> over-looking the sea. It felt almost as if I were looking at sculptures created in another time. Hauntingly beautiful, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
