Description
Bar Island is a small island across from Bar Harbor, Maine on Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park. It is only reachable via a short walk across a shell covered sand bar and only at low tide. Make sure to check the tide chart before adventuring to the island ~ 1.5 hours before and after low tide a good time to go. The short and easy walk to the highest point of the island awards one with a beautiful view of Bar Harbor, Main Street, the fishing fleet and harbor and the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa. On the way to the top one passes a field of Lupines that make for exceptional flower photography when in full bloom. The lupines, which typically bloom late May/beginning of June, are just getting started now. We only encountered a few in the early blooming stage with some purple blossoms within. One can only wonder and imagine the sight when the wildflowers are in full bloom; so eager to get back soon!
From Wikipedia: Lupinus, commonly known as lupin or lupine (North America), is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae). The genus comprises about 280 species, with major centers of diversity in South and Western North America, parts of the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand and parts of Australia) and the Andes and secondary centers in the Mediterranean region and Africa.
