In the Summer augmented by weeds.
I have loved these painted barriers since I first saw them in January of this year. I, through Facebook, got an explanation as to how they came to be. I did a post about them at that juncture. (Please refer to that post if you too are curious.)
I did a post in July 2022 of them augmented by weeds.
Today, it was snow.

Today was the first time I have visited Fort Foster in the Summer. I wanted to see how nature augmented the art. It amused me. I will have to go back again soon to see if I can get more pictures with more flowers.

Click to ENLARGE. Just some of the Jersey Barriers.
I went on one of my regular ambling trips yesterday. It was warm (32F), I hadn’t walked 8+ miles in a day in over a month & I still had less than 1K miles on my 2.5-month old Volvo XC60. I had no plan, no itinerary other than that I would start off around Portsmouth & not have breakfast until I had done 12,000 steps. That was easy. After picking up breakfast from a gas station (chicken tenders & a hot sausage), I headed to Maine. First stop, of course, was Kittery. Just followed my nose & that invariably leads me to the sea. (Must be because I was born on an island.)
Stumbled upon Fort McClary. Had it ALL to myself. I sat & had my breakfast, at 1pm, in style. Saw the sign for the other fort across the water. I considered walking across ….
After spending an hour at Fort McClary I headed east on Route 103. I knew I could find my way to the other fort. I did.
The paintings blew me away. I started taking a picture of each. I think I missed about 4. Sorry. Though it was warmer than normal, it was still cold.
I am going back within the month. Was thinking of going back next week, but I have to go to Boston. Per my own schedule, I really can’t afford 2 days of goofing. Books to finish. But, I will go back. Take more pictures. Enjoy.
