Today was a day of unseasonable warmth and an ever-changing sky. Clouds moved from dark to lighter then moved aside a bit to allow some blue to peek through. On Brackett Pond in Harold Parker State Forest #landscapephotography

It's been chilly during the day and cold overnight - cold enough to start forming a skim coat of ice on some of the ponds in the area. As I walked in Harold Parker State Forest this afternoon I noticed signs of emerging ice. #stunday #landscapephotography

It was good day for a low tide walk in the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. The sky showed blue with changing clouds, moving from bright white to dark gray and back again. While it was chilly and windy, it was wonderful. #scape #landscapephotography #coastal

A little bit of pink for a rainy Monday... It's hard to believe this image jumped into my camera almost a month ago. No flowers outside right now so I'll have to share this one! for #ColorADay #PinkMon #MacroMonday #bloomscrolling #flowers

autumn color along the Witch Hole Pond carriage road in Acadia National Park What a beautiful place to walk! #stunday #ColorADay #OrangeSun #acadia #landscapephotography

‪Rocks wearing shades of sand and rust, on the Schoodic Peninsula in Acadia National Park. This is a favorite part of the park for me; I love wandering across the rocks, watching the play of light across the rocks. #WeekRForRock #acadia #landscapephotography

evergreens with a bit of seasonal autumn rust color mixed in for #ColorADay #GreenSat #acadia #landscapephotography

While we are well past flower season here in northeastern Massachusetts I did see some bright pink flowers today. I think these are chrysanthemums. #bloomscrolling #flowers #FlowersOnFriday #FloralFriday

Looking back towards Sand Beach from the Ocean Path trail in Acadia National Park. Lots of rocks for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekRForRock #acadia #landscapephotography

Yesterday's (last) walk in Acadia National Park showed popping colors under cloudy skies, a reflection of autumn in a clear body of water. #ColorADay #YellowThu #acadia #landscapephotography

I enjoyed a cloudy last morning in Acadia National Park before it was time to drive home. I walked along Park Loop Road, listening to the ocean, looking at the rocks, absorbing the beauty. Sometimes a short trip is perfect; this one made me happy. #acadia #landscapephotography

The light was wonderful tonight as the sun was setting in Bar Harbor, Maine tonight. #sunset

It was a wicked windy day today - but still a good day to walk in Acadia National Park. White clouds floated above Jordan Pond #acadia #landscapephotography

It was a gray afternoon with some sprinkles falling - but it was a good afternoon for a walk on the Witch Hole Pond Loop in Acadia National Park. #acadia #landscapephotography

The sky was full of gray clouds on the drive from Bar Harbor to the Schoodic Peninsula in Acadia National Park. Once we arrived in Schoodic the sky showed as brilliant blue. #acadia #landscapephotography

Late October means it's time for an escape to Acadia National Park. While the air today was chilly it was good to walk in the park! This photo if from a point on Mount Desert Island that is still north of the park, looking to the east. #landscapephotography

When will Adelita Grijalva be sworn in? How about impeaching the speaker of the house? He is not doing his job! #indivisible
