As we’ve traveled across the United States on our quest we have been delighted with the opportunity to see a multitude of varied landscapes. But we have also enjoyed being unofficial ambassadors for our state of Maine.
Yesterday I checked out of my daily routine and soaked up a beautiful Maine summer day.
An early morning run in our neck of the woods started the day off perfectly.
Arriving at my favorite local beach early ensured plenty of quiet seaside space.
The clouds and waves seemed particularly mesmerizing.
Although typically “going to the beach” is virtually code for “sitting in the sun reading”, this visit I spent more time watching the waves swell and crest and the clouds drifting in ever-changing patterns.
The Maine ocean water is almost always numbingly cold even in the middle of summer but a brief dip into the surf provided instant refreshment from the day’s heat.
When this little guy ventured close I took some time to assess him more closely and found his knobby knees somewhat hysterical. His feet made me think he had snapped on tight little flippers at the ends of his tiny stick legs.
Taking time to soak up nature was the perfect way to spend a morning.
If you haven’t been to Maine I wholeheartedly recommend a trip. And if you live here, I urge you to be sure to savor our spectacular home.
