I was in Saco, Maine this past weekend, enjoying a ‘second summer,’ with bright sunshine and temperatures in the 70s. Autumn brings very special light, instigating these incredible shadows and offering gorgeous water reflections. Here’s a slice through photos, sharing some of this extraordinary beauty. Such a gift of a visit!
whispers of trees dwindling leaves stretch their arms in hope towards the bright blue sky
soft lapping waves kisses from the sun footprints in the sand problems forgotten as we walk
shadow bracelets adorn the trees gathering together at the pond dancing a welcome to autumn
how to describe this photo this painting these nature lines languishing sweeping caressing the shore wiggles and squiggles while a shorebird reflects
full moon nestled within branches strives to appear
reflection fun a pair of tweezers a spot of bother together playing, playing together
farewell, sweet Saco sparkles of sun soft blue water rocky edges glistening shadowing holding
Lovely photos and poetry, Maureen. The blue as dominant color reminds me of the blue I long to see this day. In contrast, we awakened to 5” of snow this morning.
Snow was so far away from my reality, this past weekend in Maine – second summer reigned. Truly a beautiful time. Thanks for noticing all the beautiful blue!
Lovely, Maureen. We visited Acadia National Park and Mt. Kineo in Maine this September. It is a beautiful area. Your words and pictures capture it beautifully! Thank you!
It was an especially beautiful weekend in Maine! Thanks for commenting!
Beautiful photos – and the poetry that goes along with each one really anchored me in the place. Looks like a wonderful weekend.
I had fun writing towards each individual photo – glad you enjoyed. Thanks for commenting!
So beautiful. Thank you for this glimpse of autumn in Saco, Maine! (I’m from Portland).
It was a picture perfect second summer weekend up there, yes, indeed! My brother lives there; it is always a beautiful place to visit. Thanks for commenting!
Gorgeous photos and words Maureen! Love the bluest of blue skies, the moon striving to appear, and so much more.
Love,
Eileen
Thank you, Eileen! There is such extraordinary beauty this time of year – and I noticed it all the more so when away on travel. Sweet to hear from you!
