About Maine Backyard Treasures

Why Maine Backyard Treasures?  Various types of wildlife wander through our small 10 acre lot and we treasure the opportunity to watch, photograph and videotape them.  We never know what type of critter or when it might appear.  It might be a small song bird, a squirrel, a fox, a white-tailed deer or even a porcupine; each one considered my backyard treasures and yes, we live in Maine.

This site came about first from my backyard critter photos and spread from there to selling select wildlife themed gifts and recently adding some of my hand crochted items for sale.

I enjoy walking in the woods, sitting outside by an open fireplace with a cup of tea; listening to the sounds of nature and watching for wildlife. When the cold Maine winter keeps me inside I like to be on my computer or crocheting. I especially enjoy crocheting warm winter hats for local charities.

I do hope you enjoy browsing through my pages, looking at my photos and checking out my stores.  Don't forget to take a look at my blog.  Please do drop in anytime and often, I will be updating every so often and adding or changing photos - Elizabeth
