Mere days ago, the temperature rose and the sun shone.
And the mist hovered.
The perfect combination of elements for trying out new beach gear.
And making new footprints in this year’s sand. Yes, we do have sand in Maine.

Black and white and red all over.

Winter landscapes are black and white and tones of grey.
So that red really pops whenever you see it.
And is so appealing in snowy areas like Scandinavia and New England.
Twilight of the seasons.

Days are shorter, nights are longer. We’re entering the nighttime of the year.
In our silhouetted landscape, moonrises are spectacular. (This is the Breaver, or Frost, or Snow Moon that occurs in November.)
The heavy moon is huge when it first emerges. Really huge.
As it rises, it becomes smaller in proportion to the horizon.
Just like us.
Sunset silhouettes.

It’s late fall. We’ve lost all the blazing reds, oranges and yellows of the leaves.
But we see more of the blazing pink sunsets as the naked trees brace themselves for winter.
