If you spend time in a Dysart's restaurant, you'll see people pointing out and talking about the incredible photos on the walls.

Whether it's a sunset behind a lighthouse or a bear who just caught a fish, Mary Dysart Hartt's photos grab your attention.

I especially love her wildlife photography that must take incredible patience to capture.

This week, 100% of the photo sales will go toward the 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer's, specifically Team Mike.

Maine Couple Has a Special Reason for Supporting the Walk to End Alzheimer's

Mary's husband, Mike, started showing symptoms of Alzheimer's at 58 and was diagnosed at 62.

His early symptoms were not typical and serve as a reminder that Alzheimer's can present in a variety of ways.

And that's what Saturday's Walk to End Alzheimer's is all about: raising awareness of the disease and educating people about its symptoms and treatments.

Mainers Can Support Team Mike in the Walk to End Alzheimer's

There are a few ways people can help Mike and Mary support the Alzheimer's Association.

One option is to buy one (or more) of Mary's photos. The ones you see on the restaurant walls are only a sample of her incredible body of work.

Find all of her photos on her SmugMug gallery page, pick your favorite, and decide the size and how you want it presented. (photo, canvas, etc.)

Another option is to donate to Team Mike, or join them Saturday for the 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer's on the Bangor Waterfront.
