Just a tiny glimpse of yesterday’s storm.

In Maine, the bright, sunny days that come when a storm departs are always amazing!

Merry Maine Christmas!

It’s Christmas time in Maine.

Red berry Christmas wreath in Rockport, Maine.

You can tell by all the simple and charming wreaths on doors, barns, lamposts, churches, mailboxes, and jeeps.

They look absolutely perfect on our New England architecture.

Wreaths on the Community Chruch in Northport, Maine.

Castine Christmas wreath.

Wreaths are used in many cultures and often relflect the idea of strength or eternity.

(In Maine, they often stay up until spring arrives.)

Wreath at Sunnyside Gardens, Bangor, Maine.

Wishing everyone all the joys and happiness this season brings!

Or as Mike Crosson heard on the radio — “During this holy season, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Merry Festivus, Happy Kwaanza, and for all you atheists – have a nice day.”

Ice sculpture - Camden, Maine.

It was so cold the first part of February that these sculptures were in pretty good shape more than a week after they were carved.

Fingers were freezing, video camera was jittery, global warming was not evident, but the US National Toboggan Championships event was lots of fun.
