Fall Colors in Maine

October 4, 2013 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

Good morning! A couple of weeks ago I went on my first trip to Maine ( you can read about it Here and Here) and although I did not get to see the traditional “Fall Colors” I did manage to capture the local color. 

Maybe it is because I fell in love with Maine but everything seemed brighter, more scenic, the people seemed friendlier and more relaxed. It was one of those trips where you feel as if you are in Oz and everything is black and white and then turns to your technicolor dream.

Or it could have been something as simple as being away from work, the computer, and taking a holiday with my husband who made a point to be on holiday too. 

Whatever the case I thought I would share of few more of my photos from Maine and let you see the beautiful colors of my adventure. 

The quilt below was hanging in the front yard of a house along with 10 others and a sign that read “Quilts for Sale.” It reminds me of the coat in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat..

It takes a lot of time and patience to create these quilts, something that I do not have. 

I do however have the patience to sit for hours enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean, there is something so peaceful and magical about it. Don’t you agree?

I was in Maine for a week and I have almost 1000 photos! It is amazing that I didn’t walk off a pier, get run over or even manage to see anything with my naked eyes for all of my picture taking. 

Do you enjoy taking photos? Do you take a lot when you travel? I will be honest there are places that we go back to again and again that we never take one new photo because we have so many from other trips.  

I hope that you enjoyed my take on the colors of Fall. 

Have a great day.

    Lovely shots!

    I do love taking pictures myself, and I have been to Maine, but it's about time I go back.

    Elizabeth, Your pictures are amazing. I always take a ton of photos, but I am also learning to put the camera down and enjoy the moment. Thank you for sharing you lovely holiday with us. I will be away, so I will wish you a happy weekend now.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
