A Touch of Fall

Paul and I enjoyed a lovely fall day by taking a walk in Atlas Park at Pointe-Verte.

We recently did a little traveling in the USA.  We drove along upstate New York, into Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine on route from Ontario to home.

We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here at this quaint place,  
Priscilla's Restaurant in North Conway, New Hampshire
We would highly recommend it.

 

Side garden at Priscilla's Restaurant, a little of everything.

Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory, near Bucksport, Maine.

 

Observation tower on this bridge offers a panoramic 360-degree view, forty-two stories high – one of only three such Bridge Observatories in the world and the only one in the western hemisphere.

 

 

Backyard View

This is the late afternoon view in our back yard today. The double rainbow, after a sunshower, was an OMG!

Interesting Sky Today

As we were driving downtown this morning to go to the Shriners Fundraiser Breakfast, we thought the sky was quite interesting. It looked dark and stormy, as well as a bright blue. A very fall day. And I just happened to have my camera in my purse so I took a couple of "drive by" photos, as my friend Elaine would do.

There was also a beautiful rainbow as we neared town but unfortunately I was unable to capture a "drive by" photo of it.

Downshore....

Although it was a windy and gray day, Paul and I decided to head downshore for a drive and get a little fresh air. It is always interesting to drive along the coastal route.

We stopped to see this pony and its foal, but the foal seemed camera shy and hid behind.

Going downshore means time on the beach for us. Although it was windy and cool, we had a great stroll and found lots of treasures.

And these are my finds of the day. It was a great day for seaglass (mermaid tears).

These are my rare treasures, according to the seaglass charts. And the large grey one in the centre of the photo is my best find ever. It was an "OMG" find, as grey is very rare and this piece is almost perfect quality! So exciting...


On the drive home we took the highway as it was a little quicker and we were anxious to get home in time to cook our evening meal. We got to enjoy some of the fall colors along the way. The photos are not the best of quality as they were taken through the car window while driving over the bumpy roads of Northern New Brunswick.

We love the freshness and the colours of the fall. It is our favourite season.
