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

I enjoyed my visit to your blog. I looked at lots of posts. Especially liked the pictures of the pumpkin people. I remember when I did a figure like that every year.
What great photos. The colors are amazing and I love how you've captured both "seasons."
Enjoy your weekend!

Beautiful pictures...fall is just around the corner!
Beautiful, beautiful, BIG photos!
I love blogs, which use Stretch Minima template and 'tweek' their photos/pics to b-i-g. :-)
It looks gorgeous!
These are beautiful pictures. Makes me want to walk along the beach!
Autumn's not far away. Hope to take some long Autumn walks in pleasant weather. Aaahhhhh.
Marsha,
Have a blessed week-end,

Nice place. I think of rocky beaches when I think of Maine. I thought this one was a lot further south.
What a beautiful landscape. We are familiar with the area and love it.
Marsha, hello what wonderful picture of the beach. My hubby and I travel to that area often with his job. I have never seen this, and I have been through this town several times. We are planning another visit in the next couple weeks. Can I ask where did you all stay? I think we never got off main st or route 1. I look for something like this everytime we go. Thank you so much for posting this.
Have a blessed day.
