Margie Patlak’s new book “Wild and Wondrous: Nature’s Artistry on the Coast of Maine” is a journey amidst the natural world of wonder that is here in Maine every day, presented in stunning color photographs. The full breadth of Maine’s majestic land and seascapes is captured — the sea, the clouds, the light and land as they play together and sometimes come into conflict; the flora and fauna, islands, forests, rocks and yes, my favorite, fog. How can one not capture the majesty we here in Maine experience more often than most, our fog-bound world of wrapped gray splendor? ~ RJ Heller
