 Beautiful Ending to a Foggy, Rainy Day

 

 

 We had what looked to be a promising day of hikig the sun was trying to break through and all looked positive until we got 1/3 through the hike (up a small mountain) and it started to rain.  It did not stop raining until about an hour after we had finished the hike. Then the fog and sun alternated and by late afternoon, the fog won. I happened to look outside and saw some color in the sky. I rushed outside and down to the water. This view greeted me and it made all the wet clothes, the sore muscles and the dampened spirits all worthwhile.

Inside the Chicken Barn Antique Store

The Big Chicken Barn Books and Antique store (in Ellsworth, Maine) is one of the largest antique stores (1st floor) and book stores (2nd floor) I've ever been in. It seems to stretch on forever and has something for everyone. I don't believe I've ever visited without buying something. It's a really wonderful place if you like to look at the past.

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.
