Rose hip..........

We are having a few warm days again and it is nice to be outside.

Birch tree at the top.......

I think we will have some color this year with our leaves. It seemed a little slow but I saw a lot of maples that  had turned red Tuesday along the interstate highway.  The sumac is turning a bright red too. 

A safe harbor.......

Soames Harbor, Maine

As one travels around the Mt. Desert Island in Maine you come across an area where an almost natural harbor exist. It is a deep inlet that has had some man made peninsula of rocks placed in the opening to help cut down the ocean's wave action. It would be difficult to dock your boat anywhere along the ocean shore unless there was a natural inlet like this.

You gotta love it........

I brought this home with me from my parents home.  It is such a neat toy.  I don't know where it came from or who it belonged to but it is mine for now. It has a battery compartment so I can make it create jet sounds.  Is it not cool?

A slice of fall.........

The silver maple trees are starting to change their colors as the temperatures continue to drop.

Birch tree..........

Fall weather is upon us and the birch is starting to turn to yellow.

Bar Harbor..........

The tide is out as you can see in the foreground. There is a ramp that one can take to get down there to see the creatures stranded in the little pools of water.
