The docks are sort of iconic.
They are powerful boats. It was fun to watch for the others and imagine what it might look like when they are cutting their way through the ice in the winter.
Don had been on many ferrys, he still seemed to enjoy the ride.
The church was as beautiful and amazing as I had remembered it. Don remarked that he and Eleanor had visited the one it is model after during their trip to Norway some years ago.
The next stop was the tower. I loved the mossy rocks and dappled colors breaking through the leafy canapy.
This is just the climb to get to the tower.
But it was worth it to see such a view.
We had lunch on the School Yard Beach. It is covered with these lovely, oh-o-smooth stones that a bits of lime stone that break off of Boyd's Bluff and tumble their way to this area of the island. They are remarkable and soothing. There is a $200 fine if you are found removing one from the beach. They seem to be disappearing rapidly.
We also stopped by the Seiver's Fiber Arts School, a place I wanted to see last time. I loved the mittens made from upcycled wool sweaters. I located a good pattern and plan to make some soon.
This had been created by the father of a girl scout. Two girls would fit inside. They would take it to events and parades in an effort to raise money to pay the mortgage for their troop cabin on the island. It is now parked by the visitor's center.
This was simply too lovely not to share.
