Race around Islesboro, Northport, Maine.

Sailboats gathering in Bayside is a sure sign that summer’s fading. The annual Around Islesboro race was held last weekend. The race began and finished at the Bayside dock and was sponsored by the Northport Yacht Club.

Coming in the night before the Race around Islesboro, Northport, Maine.

Some boats came in the night before.

And the next morning the water churned with boats and their intense crews.

It was a glorious, windy, sunny day.

Maine Home Magazine, Home & Garden Show, Point Lookout, Northport, Maine

Some snaps of stuff you might have missed if you didn’t make it to Maine Home and Design Magazine’s event at beautiful Point Lookout in Northport. (The poster says Lincolnville, but it’s in Northport. Hard to tell the difference if you miss the signs.)

Fall foliage on Mt. Desert Island, Maine.

This is prime time for fall color in Maine.

Fall foliage on Mt. Desert Island, Maine.

What makes Maine especially beautiful in the fall is the way the deep green conifers contrast with the blazing hard woods.

So jump in the car and drive around this gorgeous state.

Adams School, Castine, Maine.

Even those who can’t drive get to enjoy the colors. Lucky Adams School students in Castine get to look at this stunning tree.

And the students at the Drinkwater School in Northport have this background for their playground activities.
