This year it has been more difficult than usual for me to have a mind of autumn.   I seem to be stuck in the hot mugginess of summer…just like our recent weather.  I still haven’t put away my summer clothes or edited my summer photos.  Perhaps one last look at our Maine vacation photos will help ease me into fall…maybe it will keep me in the summery doldrums.   It was a wonderful vacation, like all our Maine vacations are…lots of family and friends and food and fun…tiring but relaxing at the same time.  Maybe my mind is still there on vacation…

You might as well stay there as long as your soul needs you to. I simply love your photographic eye. You are drawn to the same things I am, as subject. I do love the treatment of the middlish photo, maybe it's your phone app? all vintage and sixties-vacation-looking.

Your photos always fill me up.

Oh, I love your Maine! The cairns, the sunset, the ice cream stand (did they have lobster rolls?), the mossy, licheny wall...Thank you so much for sharing these.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to remember the good times as much as possible. I think it is wonderful that you have such a long tradition of Maine vacations with family and friends.

BTW, I finally got my iPhone about 3 hours ago and got setup on instagram! Woohoo!!
