0 for 2 - Maine Sunrises

I have one more chance at a sunrise on this short visit to Maine. Yesterday saw wind and a light rain all day and this morning was thick fog. But, the Atlantic Ocean is still there so here are some scenes from this morning.

More Grafton Ponds Foliage

It's only been four days since my last trip to Grafton Lakes State Park but foliage changes quickly when it's near peak so I headed back this morning. I'm glad I did as the colors were great and conditions almost perfect.

A reminder there's a gallery for the park at https://davidtruland.smugmug.com/Color/New-York-State-Parks/Grafton-Lakes-State-Park and a project gallery for this years fall color from any location at https://davidtruland.smugmug.com/Color/Projects/Fall-Foliage-26.

Here are 8 of the 26 images I added to the park gallery this morning. The first is Mill Pond and the rest are Second Pond.
