 October 4: Herring in Belfast....attacked by Mackerel!! |
 A herring swirl! |
 More herring....sheesh! |
 Trees from childhood. |
 Oct. 5: It dawns warm and sunny, so I take off to find... |
 ...some photo ops. |
 And I find them in Wiscasset and the marshes outside Bath. |
 And by chance I catch the passenger train travelling through Wiscasset. |
 Oct. 6: Lorelei has a new bike helmet earned with $ saved on diapers! You GO, girl! Mostly IN the potty! |
 September is car month.....'new' used-Civic! |
 October 9: Pumpkin carving contest... |
 comes to Damariscotta where the .... |
 pumpkins are lovely and.... |
 .....Colorful and.... |
 Frightening! |
 This one was done by Stephen King's illustrator.... |
 ...fitting for Maine! |
 Looks like he has a five o'clock shadow! |
 Oct. 13: It's off to Camden again to..... |
 ....feed the ducks and this time... |
 ....we bring LOTS of bread, so are well 'armed.' |
 They're a hungry crew enticed to do tricks for treats! |
 "Jump, Duck, jump!" And they DO! |
 They appreciate it, but 'enough' is never enough! |
 Camden Harbor is beautiful on this Fall day! |
 The leaves are just starting. NEXT weekend will be the time to be there! |
 It seems we always find dogs to pet! |
 The town is pretty on the harbor and the river. |
 There are pretty falls to see and.... |
 on the way out of town,..... |
 ...... Belted Galloways! |
 October 14: It's time to catch up on reading w/ Poppa! |
 Then later, while we wait for Mom to make dinner, the Barbies get.... |
 ....a workout! |
 Oct. 15: Dawns clear and bright, so I head south to try to... |
 ...capture fall in all it's glory...first in Wiscasset, then.... |
 ...it's on to Bath where... |
 ...the park around the library is lovely! |
 But don't stop there! The marshes around Reid are lovely too! |
 And this favorite spot on the way home is pretty too. |
 Then this pond is probably the prettiest of all... |
 ..with it's deep blues and ... |
 ....yellows! |
 This marsh area on the way home is one I've always wanted to capture, but didn't do very well....maybe next time? |
 Oct. 21: I take the same route and capture... |
 ...some of the same scenes almost a week later. |
 Wiscasset is a good place to start....in past years... |
 ...I have always come a week too late, but not this.... |
 ...year!! |
 I think I hit it just right! |
 Don't you? |
 We still have a LOT of color and it's still... |
 ...very pretty! |
 It's nice to get a second 'crack at it.' |
 And this week, I think I did a bit better at the.... |
 ....Reid swamp. |
 Stopped at the beach today and found surfers taking advantage of a beautiful day with... |
 ....pretty good surf to boot! |
 Then I went on to Five Islands to see what I could find... |
 ....this wasn't too bad! |
 It seems that flags are everywhere! |
 And on the way back, found other nice.... |
 color! |
 Oct. 26: We meet Marta and Lorelei in Freeport in prep for a couple of nights with 'our girl!' |
 And after a couple days of 'fun,' a rest is in order! |
 How peaceful they look when asleep! |
 Generosity in action! |
 The leaves aren't all gone yet...almost though. |
 Clockworks from the Damariscotta Baptist Church... |
 ...in safe keeping at.... |
 ...the library. |
 What fun to try to capture this simply elegant device handmade by a Boston Clockmaker... |
 ...back in the mid-1800's!! |
 It IS beautiful! |
 Isn't it? |
 Church clockworks from mid-1800's New England steeple clock! |
