Spring
A couple of extremely out of the ordinary 80 degree days have brought the flowers out early around here. It’s lovely, if a bit strange.
Crescent Beach State Park – Cape Elizabeth ME
A year ago today exactly, I did my first trip of the season to Crescent Beach State Park. The park doesn’t officially open until Memorial Day, so I’d parked out on the road, and trekked in, over an access road that was still almost fully snow covered in the shadier parts. I was bundled up

Wolfes Neck State Park – Freeport, ME
I took a walk by the sea in a short sleeved shirt, and the sea breeze was warm. I find it extremely hard to believe we’ll be back in 30s next week…

Kettle Cove – Cape Elizabeth, ME
I went to the beach on Sunday. Sure, I was wearing a down parka, hat and thick socks, but it was sunny! And it was largely ice free. Ah, winter in Maine…

Sunset
Sunset from the parking lot as I left work. While I don’t love that this was taken at 4:30, I love that I was there to see it.
Fall At Mackworth Island
Somewhat to my chagrin, I finally made it out to Mackworth Island, for the first time this year. I’ve therefore missed the flowers and the warm breezes, but it’s still lovely out there in the Fall, and today was an extremely lovely day. I should preface my remarks about the above pictures by mentioning how

Acadia in Fog
We had a friend visiting us from England this past week, and decided that since we had a few days off, we’d bring her up to Acadia National Park and show her the sights. Day 1 of our trip ended up being very fogged in on the island, but it had a definite quiet beauty
Crescent Beach – Cape Elizabeth, ME
I went to the Beach today. (As point of reference, my beach with a capitol B is Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth, which is, and always will be the epitome of beachiness to me.) This is normally not a statement of much import, but the last time I was at the Beach was a blustery

Frenchman Bay, Maine
Last weekend (aka the beginning of the heat wave that stole my desire to use my brain, much less go anywhere near a computer), we headed up to Ellsworth to visit my father. The highlight of the trip was a boat ride across Frenchman Bay to Bar Harbor for dinner. It was absolutely gorgeous out

Pineland Farms – New Gloucester, Maine
Yesterday’s impromptu road trip was to Pineland Farms in New Gloucester. They have a lovely fenced in garden right on the main road, that you might not even know was there when you drive by. We had the place to ourselves while we were there. It’s a lovely little spot with a number of benches
