As nice as it has been the last 2 days, I know it's only Mother Nature playing with us because she can. Maine foliage is already at peak in some area's (http://www.maine.gov/doc/foliage/) so Justin & I took a drive today to have a look. This is a place I love called 'Small Falls', it's very picturesque and peaceful except on holiday weekends like this. :)

Better look at the whole fall, this is the first thing you see as you cross the bridge.

I see this coming into the Falls parking lot and I had to take a picture. It's a 33 Plymouth Coupe I believe.

Reflections in the water looked really funky....until i remembered the lily pads that were in the water. :)

Gorgeous shots, Celeste! Yesterday we had no color, but today it just popped! The maples are already done, but now the yellows and oranges are glowing. Sounds like you and Justin had some good, quality time today with beautiful scenery thrown in as a bonus. :)

So cute, Jen!

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

So I took another trip, different area this time. It was a bitter sweet trip, part of me dreaded it and part of me looked forward to it. I'll explain....I dreaded the trip because I had to tell my son his friend had passed, not to mention it's a long ride by yourself. I looked forward to it because I knew the colors would be @ peak in that area and I was going up past Baxter State Park. As it turned out I never made it to B.S.P., met Brian and Josh in Millinocket as the Toyota was having problems. That cut an hour or better from my trip, but I got a few pictures anyways. Most of them I am driving and just clicking away randomly. LOL
So some we be at a slight tilt, actually most of them!

Lets start out with the sunrise, the sky was amazing.
