Saco Dog Park Saco’s dog park is in Pepperell Park, which can be accessed from Beach or School Streets, near Saco’s downtown. The park has shady areas, and places (for humans) to sit. It is a small park by some standards, but your dog won’t notice that. Like Say Goodbye at Home many dog parks, the impetus for this special place came from a Saco couple, Carol and Ed Radin, who, in 2012, donated $5000 as seed money to the city to Susan Holt, DVM create a park. Soon after, enough donations were raised to allow city offi cials to erect fences and create a place for unleashed dog to romp. FMI, SacoDogPark on Mobile Veterinary Facebook, or 283-3139.

The three dories have become one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Kennebunks. Owned by Mike and Sandy WiTh PhOTOGraPher Ob ennis Severance, former owners of The Seaside Inn, the dories were situ- b D atedhrOuGh for many years in Gooch’sThe ens Creek, a short distance from the Inn. Their visibility has risen since they were moved to their Tcurrent location on the Ken- l nebunk River, north of the Lani- gan Bridge. They typically enter the water in late spring and during the holiday season, a single dory with a small Christmas tree delights visitors. What makes the three dories an interesting photographic subject is that, un- less there is virtually no wind, their spatial relationships to each other are constantly changing. The dories are typically and most easily photographed from the Dock Square parking lot behind Hurricane Restaurant. I’ve taken many pleasing images of the dories from that location, sometimes including them in a colorful sunset shot. I was fortunate to capture this scene from the Lanigan Bridge using a zoom lens.

Bob Dennis became a year-round resident of Cape Porpoise in 2011 after retiring from his career as an investment manager in Boston. He has been the primary photographer for the Kennebunk Kennebunkport Arundel Chamber of Commerce for 26 years and has published three books on Kennebunkport and eighteen annual "Images of Kennebunkport" calendars.
