Seaside Saturday: Images of the Maine Coast ~ Jan. 29th



I decided to try something new, which I'm calling Seaside Saturday. On Saturdays, I'll post images of the Maine Coast. This week, I turned to my archives for these photos of Reid State Park in Georgetown, Maine, which I took last winter. As you can clearly see, Maine is beautiful in every season!

Light through the Trees


[please click on photos for a better view]

We're deep into winter here in Maine, and it's easy for me to become a total couch potato.



But yesterday I managed to get up, get out, and take a walk at our local Audubon center.



I took my camera and got plenty of shots even though I was not there long.



I'm so glad I made the effort, because it was exhilarating!



The recent heavy rains had washed away a lot of the snow so walking was easy.



And since it was nearly sunset, the light through the trees was really lovely.



It was the ideal way to end the day and wrap up the month of January.

The Beauty of Maine ~ January

[Please click images for a better view]



I always say that Maine is beautiful in any season...



Oh, the summers are certainly sublime. During the months of July and August, I cannot imagine being in a better place than Maine.



But in January, there is still lots to love about the Pine Tree State. You just might have to look a little harder to appreciate winter's beauty.



This past week, I made a point of going to Portland Head Light to see if there was much wave action.



It turned out that the waves were pretty active although the sea was not as rough as I've seen it after other big storms.





Luckily, I arrived in late afternoon, when the sky was putting on a lovely light show. I took about 80 or 90 photos before heading back home.





The sun was setting as I was driving through Portland so I raced to the Town Landing in Falmouth to get a good view of the sunset over Casco Bay.



I made it in time to see a beautiful pink and gray sky...







And so you can see that winter sunsets here are glorious.



And they're just one reason that I say that Maine is beautiful year-round.
