Spring’s just beginning, but Victorian Bayside is still charming, even without all the foliage and flowers.
Bayside is a secret Victorian village that’s hidden off of Route One, in Northport, just below Belfast, and above Camden.
Even true Mainers don’t know it’s there.
Bayside started as a Methodist/Episcopalian church camp in the mid 1800’s, and it’s charming Carpenter Gothic architecture is of true historic value.
It’s known for it’s active summer community but that’s gradually changing.
As people are discovering, Gingerbread dresses up the scene, no matter what time of year.
(To get to Bayside, turn onto the road at the very colorful Dos Amigos Mexican restaurant just below Belfast and Little River. Follow the road along the shoreline. You’ll go through the village and eventually come out at Route One near Saturday Cove. It’s about 4 miles along the water.)

In winter, the beauty of the landscape is lost on some. They see only black and white, very little color, and are lost.
But if they look just a little longer, exqusite beauty will express itself in subtle and dramatic ways.
But most likely they just head out to warmer spots, in search of brighter colors.

Sea smoke occurs when the air is much colder than the water below. It’s essentially a cloud. The evaporation happens faster than the air can absorb the water vapor and the surface wind blows it across the sea.
Just another beautiful, but chilly, part of winter in Maine.

The prettiest mornings in Maine often involve mist, especially along the coast.
