Lupines on the Cove

Photo of the Day 163/365

Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary for my wife and I. After breakfast and some shopping at a VERY large antique barn (The Big Chicken Barn) - we decided to drive around a bit, get dinner, and drive around some more. Here in Maine, it is the time for lupines. Since most lupines are purple and appear to grow randomly, I wanted to get some good photos, and we drove about until I found some good shots. I like this one the best.

Lupines and Lilacs

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Friday Nature: While we are on vacation, I noted MANY photos of Lupines on social media and wanted to get some of my own. While I like lupines (mostly purple), I REALLY like lilacs. Back home, the lilacs didn't come out well so I was disappointed. However, here in Maine, they are out in force and I got this photo of both lilacs and lupines. Enjoy!

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.
