For fans of natural history museums, New York's American Museum of Natural History, DC’s Smithsonian National Museum of History, and London’s Natural Museum of History draw the masses when it comes to tourists and locals alike. But just past Boston’s Harvard Yard sits a hidden gem of a museum in its own right-- the Harvard Museum of Natural History. 
Left behind works fine in Maine when you travel with a sailor but feel happier as a landlubber.
Nooks, crannies and peninsulas extend Maine's rocky coastline into zigzags of discovery, perfect for seeing from a sailing schooner.
Equally wonderful are surprises in two little towns harboring the fleet of Maine Windjammers.
As much an explorer as artist, El Anatsui transforms found objects (often found on habitual long walks) into objets d’art. Who knew discarded liquor bottle caps and milk can lids found in Nigeria transform to become beautiful enough to hang in a New York Museum?
May 10th is National Public Gardens Day, a day of celebration to raise awareness of America's public gardens and their important role in our communities. All gardens, whether public gardens, botanical gardens, educational gardens, arboreta, farm gardens, historical landscapes, or zoos, will each participate in its own unique way.
Many will mark the day with free admission and special events for schools, families and thousands of visitors to explore and discover their local public garden, while learning about each garden's commitment to education and environmental preservation.
If you find yourself in the Boston area, but want to take an easy day excursion out of the city to allow yourself some fresh, salt air, beaches and climbing rocks, and authentic sidelines found in a seaside town, then Rockport and Bearskin Neck may be for you.
Located approximately 25 miles northeast of Boston, at the tip of the Cape Ann peninsula, Rockport is reachable with less than an hour of driving and offers miles of beaches, boulders to climb, plenty of wooded trails, and what the locals refer to as a “magical light” that has inspired painters through the years. Much of that "light" can be seen captured in works found at the Rockport Art Association, which is home to a lovely gallery space as well as art from locals and others around the country.
Heave ho mates! Unfurl the sail.
