Spilling Thought: In the mid-1800s, artists and painters of the Hudson River School flocked to Mount Desert Island in #Maine and glorified its natural beauty with their brushstrokes -- inspiring patrons and friends to explore the area. Undaunted by crude accommodations and simple food, they sought out local fishermen and farmers to put them up for a modest fee. As more people came to savor the fresh salt air, beautiful scenery and relaxed pace, the fame and popularity of this gorgeous coastline grew. After years of preservation efforts, this lovely landscape became #Acadia #NationalPark in 1929. Photo by Michael Rickard (http://ift.tt/18oFfjl) by usinterior
