Summer turns to Fall

These photos were taken on a recent October trip to Ogunquit, Maine. Ogunquit means "beautiful city by the sea" Really, can't you see why it's called that?


On this unusually warm day in October, sunbathers dot the taupe sand and blue sea enjoying one last stolen Summer day in Fall.

The orange pumpkins and green gourds...
...the autumn colored marigolds blooming along the fence row remind us that Fall is upon us, but summer is not yet ready to let go and lingers a little longer.

And we're thankful for that.

"Then summer fades and passes and October comes.

We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness,

a thrill of nervousness, swift elation,

a sense of sadness and departure."-

Thomas Wolfe
