 Last full day of vacation gave us this sunset. Now we head home.

 


 

 On our last day of vacation we hiked on new trails, saw some places we hadn't seen before, and with some patience, we checked a very specific item from my bucket list. We saw AND heard AND shot video of loons. In over 40 years of trips to Maine, I had not seen and heard them at the same time. We were blessed with a "water-dance" of loons - an entire family of 7. After they moved on, we were then blessed with this final sunset. A fitting ending.

Fog lifting in the distance from the Wonderland Trail

While out hiking the Wonderland Trail, we saw this vista looking back towards Mt. Desert and it almost looked like a postcard. The layers of rocks, sand, trees, fog, and finally mountains, was almost too good.

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.
