Symbol of Valentine’s Day with a Nautical Flare
Ann-Marie and I would like to wish everyone a very happy Valentine’s Day as we all celebrate this day and show love and appreciation for those special “lights” in our lives.
When we think of Valentine’s Day and the meaning it contains for one’s sweetheart, the rocky coast of Maine with its rugged traditions by the sea might seem to be the last place you would find a whisper of emotion laced with a warm touch of red.
Yet there is a place amidst the realm of salt air that is a sweet reminder to the fact that Cupid takes aim everywhere – even along the tide-swept edge where land meets sea.
Winter’s grip may still be holding on tight here in February, but at Fox’s Lobster House at Sohier Park in York Beach, Maine, an ever-changing holiday lobster trap tree is able to inspire a smile and melt away any icy chills.
The lobster trap tree is draped in Valentine decorations, sports one cute Teddy Bear nestled into the creation, and of course, is fittingly accented in red by an array of lobster buoys. Finally, the lobster trap tree is topped by Cupid who has his arrow primed landward.
The sight of the lobster trap tree is so neat, we wanted to share it with all of you – and you in turn can share it with your special someone.
Again, happy Valentines Day – and don’t eat too much chocolate! 🙂
Love it – how original. I see a road trip in the very near future ;=)
I love it. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. Sally
Happy Valentine’s right back at ‘cha!!!!!!! This Mine Coast greeting is putting Islesboro to shame!!!! Maybe we can rectify that next yesr!!!!!!
You both take some of the most beautiful pictures. Ever think of doing a book.
And the Christmas Lobster Trap lives on! Can’t wait for the next ‘incarnation’! Easter?
Thanks and Happy Valentine’s day to you and yours.

MY WORD OF ADVICE TO EVERYONE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR USED TO BE “FILE EARLY”, BUT IRS WON’T LET US THIS YEAR, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! THEY STILL HAVE NOT RELEASED CERTAIN FORMS FOR PROCESSING, SO WE TREAD WATER.
Just Beautiful!!!! Love is certainly in the air. We Love the round traps with all that LOVE. Cupid on top.. Nice touch. Happy Valentines Day to all. Thanks for the photos.
Nice Touch! Happy Valentines Day
Lobster Love is not just for tourists. In these photos winter residents show their joy with Maine’s lobster heritage. It give us pause to be thankful for those who prepare to paint their buoys for another season. Thank you, Bob and Ann-Marie! I sent these out on facebook.com/LindaBeansMaineLobster.
