First beach day.

Birch Point State Park, first beach day.

Mere days ago, the temperature rose and the sun shone.

Birch Point State Park, first beach day.

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.

Shades of blue.

Blue sky, Maine, spring.

Blue flowers, Maine spring garden.

Blue waves, Maine, spring.

Shepard's Pie, Rockport, Maine. (Bathroom towel dispenser.)

If you recognize this last shade of blue, you’ve most likely had a great meal in Rockport.

(You’ll find this glittery blue in the bathroom.)

Slow spring.

Spring reflections.

No blast of spring this year.

Spring’s creeping in.

Spring reflections.

Softly.

Spring reflections.

Reluctantly.

Spring reflections.

We’ve been patient.

Spring reflections.

So now please bring on the sun!
