Kenduskaeg River

This is Kenduskaeg Stream looking north from Main Street in Bangor. See that statue on the right between the two lamp post? I have posted a photo of that statue early this month.

So do you live a stream or river?

Norumbega Parkway

This statue at the Norumbega Parkway represents the war memorial for the city of Bangor. The small square is located right downtown near all the shops, cafes and restaurants.

The red building on the right is a luxury condominium with underground parking and an indoor swimming pool. Three units in the building are now on the market for between $180,000 (2-bedroom) to $230,000 (penthouse).

So do you prefer to live in a condominium or a house with a backyard?

Marigold & Wasp

This marco shot was taken at the Norumbega Parkway flower patch at downtown Bangor. The marigold flower seemed to have a guest visiting its stamen and stigma. Maybe it was there to smell the flower.

So when was the last time you stopped to smell the flower?

Flower Bug & Aphids

Last weekend I went to the Norumbega Parkway, a small parcel of garden space by Kenduskeag Stream in downtown Bangor to photograph the flowers and plants there. To my amazement, I found lots of insects and bugs in and around the plants.

In this macro shot of a flower bud, you can see two little green aphids inside it. I didn't notice the aphids until I downloaded the photo on to my laptop. If I had known they were there, I would have taken more photos and angled my camera to focus on the aphids a little more.

So have you ever taken a photo and realized the unknown details later when you saw them on your computer?
