 Beautiful End to a Rainy Vacation Day

 

 

Yesterday, we had on-again and off-again showers. We stopped at different places in the morning, did some shopping and as the day's showers gave way to clouds, we did some hiking. We have visited some new places on this trip that I had never seen in 40 years of coming to this island. We walked on quiet-side trails - saw a group of loons, including chicks and finished most of our shopping.  As we settled back into our cottage, I noted the sun poking through the end-of-day clouds and this was the result. A great ending.

Bee Getting Busy

We were walking the "Shore Path" in Bar Harbor. It was clouds and dreary, but the Shore Path never disappoints. The roses, the sounds of the sea, the islands, the boats, and the "cottages".  Bar Harbor is a place I love to see and visit.  This little rose caught my eye as the bee went in head first, to get the pollen. It was fun watching an trying to get a good shot.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
