Boothbay, Popham Beach and Wiscasset, Maine

Even though it is technically Spring, I call it the in-between season.  It doesn’t look like Spring, unless you get up close to the ground and notice new grass rising from the earth.  Or bulbs parading their greenery.  Or the maple trees swelling buds.  There is a golden brown and skeletons of gray.  Ah, but the robins have come out in full force and the snow is completely gone.  In fact, the snow has been gone for a long time now.  So unusual for Maine.  But this has been an unusual year on many levels.

We had a day in March that felt like summer, and people behaved like it was summer, too.

My visit to Boothbay Harbor proved that winter still lingered, although the one store I found open begged to differ.

There is just something about railroad tracks that I simply love.  I love the way they look and the way they seem to meander forever and ever, inviting one to dream and explore.

“Secret Garden” comes to mind when I’m here.

There is simple beauty in everything.  I truly love how photographing the ordinary can create peace for me.

I absolutely LOVE the Fall season!  For me, the colors signify accomplishment and a brilliant end to the busy, full days of Summer.  I love the turning maple leaves, but even more, I love the opened pods of  milkweed.  For the past month as I drive to and from town, I’d scout the roadsides for the first signs of this amazing plant.  And today, on my way home from a massage session, I actually had time to stop and photograph some.  I was hoping for the sun to be shining because I love how the light illuminates the cottony white.  The sky was overcast  but I love the results anyway.  The problem I’m having is choosing a favorite.  One may wonder, how many images of a milkweed one can take?  After all, a milkweed is a milkweed, looking just like the last milkweed. Wrong! I’d love to hear from you which image you like best.  Just leave a comment at the end of this post to tell me.  There are 16 images and I’m going to post them in the order that I photographed them, so you won’t think they are in order of preference.  Enjoy!!
