I visited Maine on a quick overnight trip for work this past week. There wasn’t much blue sky while there, but we had a chance to visit the Olson farm, where Andrew Wyeth painted some of his most famous works, including “Christina’s World.” The imposing farmhouse still stands and Wyeth is buried there. Of course, we also enjoyed a lobster dinner while watching a lightning storm rip through the sky all around us. Here are some memories of the trip.

Beautiful photos Julia. What a lovely “business trip”. 🙂
Funny. Does seem odd, doesn’t it. I was with our video and photo team who were shooting a story for a project we are working on. So I brought my camera along, too.
