Ocean Sunset after a Rainy Day

Photo of the Day 159/365

Yesterday was a rainy day and cool for June. As most of you know, I love my sunsets, but this day did not seem to be the day. As we made it back to our cottage and had supper, it seemed less likely. Suddenly I spotted orange on the western horizon. I asked my wife if she saw it, and she said no. I went out to get one last look and saw it getting brighter. This photo was the result - very much worth the wait.

Marshes and Mountains on Acadia

Monday Free Choice: It was a very gray, rainy day on Mt. Desert Island. On our first day, we bot up, had breakfast and then went antique shopping. Despite the drizzle, I asked my wife to stop at a favorite spot. I got out and found a path which led to the water, and I got some new views. Even in the damp and gray, I found this nice shot of the salt marsh with the mountains in the background, with the clouds.  Beauty is where you look for it.

Cliffs in Acadia (wish I was there again) Photo of the Day 165/365 This image, which I took last week, was taken at Raven's Nest on Schoodic Peninsula within Acadia National Park - in Maine. This area of the country is, indeed, my happy place. I have been there more than 20 times and I can ALWAYS find something wonderful and breathtaking to photograph. My younger self might have moved there, but life doesn't alway give you what you want, so I must be happy with visits and memories.

Summer Sunset over the Farm Photo of the Day 234/365 Thjis photo was taken a month or two ago and I had a hard time making this photo come out the way my eyes saw it. The bright sky just made the trees and barn dark shapes. In fact, in the original, you couild not see the barn at all.  However, when I took the photo, I saw it and want to capture it and see it - but the camera's sensor failed me - so I did work editing it to get it as close as I could to what I saw - I think it was worth it.

Snow and Ice by the Lake Photo of the Day 51/365 This photo was taken at our local State Park (Gifford Pinchot) and it was a cold sunset sky. It had been cold enough for some time for the lake to freeze over. The snow had started to melt due to the sunshine and that eveing, the sunset was wonderful (but cold). That lade is and will be, one of my fave local spots.
