The peak of the fall foliage is fading, but we loved every single moment. For some reason, perhaps the wet summer, the spectacle was a bit less stunning this year — a bit more brown, a bit less color.
Fall leaves, sea breeze.

It’s hard to compete with the spectacular colors on the trees this time of year, but the bittersweet vine is fearless. And triumphant.
You’ll find it growing wild in woodland settings all over Maine. As well as decorating shops and homes.

Either one can steal the show.
