Bayview Images is a division of Bayview Holding Company LLC Purchase Beautiful Days - A collection of photographs to be enjoyed any day! This collection has been created for recipients of memory care services in Maine, although there are many images that will be familiar to residents of - and visitors to - Maine.

Be Like Buckle

A splash of fun. A wave of purpose. A crew kids will remember. IT’S TIME TO MEET THE CREW! I am thrilled to introduce three unforgettable new friends who are ready to make a splash and help children discover that safety can be part of every great adventure. BUCKLE, NEAL THE SEAL and POPPY THE HARBOR PORPOISE Three new friends, One big adventure, One powerful mission Adventure Starts Buckled is a fun, heart-filled story about friendship, courage, smart choices, adventure, and looking out for one another. It was created to make boating and water safety feel exciting, memorable, and meaningful for children, while carrying a message every family can understand. Beneath the waves of this little story lives a deeper purpose: helping young readers discover that a life jacket is not just safety gear, it is part of the adventure, part of the promise, and part of coming home. This book also honors those who went out on the water and never came home. It honors the lives behind the statistics: the empty chairs, the unanswered calls, the families forever missing someone they love, and the communities changed by loss. It also honors those who continue to carry those memories forward: parents, spouses, children, siblings, friends, first responders, teammates, and neighbors who know why this message matters. Throughout this journey, I have had the privilege of meeting families who have experienced unimaginable loss. I have listened to their stories, shared tears with them, and talked with them about what this project could become. Their trust, compassion, encouragement, and willingness to help turn tragedy into purpose has profoundly moved me. To those families, I Thank You!!! Your loved ones matter. Their stories matter. Their memory is part of the reason Buckle and crew exists. After more than 40 years on the water, I also think about the extraordinary people I have had the privilege of serving and working beside. They know the rescues, the searches, the moments when everything went right, and the moments we desperately wish had ended differently. They know that behind every boating tragedy is not just a number. It is a person A family A story May this project honor them as well, because that is why Buckle’s message needs to be bold, memorable, and shared. If we can help one child make a safer choice, help one family avoid the heartbreak of a preventable loss, or help one young adventurer learn that wearing a life jacket is simply part of the fun, then a choice made today may change the ending of someone’s story tomorrow. So, let’s help children fall in love with the water. Let’s teach them to respect it. Let’s show them that looking out for one another is what good friends do. And let’s do everything we can to make sure that when the adventure is over, they come safely home. For those we have lost. For those who carry their memory. And for the next generation whose stories are still being written. BE SMART, WEAR IT FROM THE START. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the many people who have helped bring the #BeLikeBuckle project to life. I cannot wait to begin sharing their stories, their purpose, and the wave of good this crew is ready to create. THE ADVENTURE IS JUST BEGINNING!!!!!
