Autumn's Bounty in Maine 2010

I think it was 2007 since I have posted photos of the beauty one can only see in the Fall.
It's one of my favorite times of the year. Spring is the other.

I live in the foothills of Western Maine which is rural. Rural means that the majority of the land is hilly, loaded with ponds and lakes, forests, and people who have farm animals for one reason or another. Some are dairy farmers. Many have animals to provide eggs, and milk to make cheese. Some raise chickens to slaughter so they can fill their freezer. Some have goats to produce milk and cheese. Quite a few have a garden and they preserve or sell their harvest. All in all, it is a beautiful place to see. In my seventeen years or so of living in Maine, I have never seen an ugly spot of land. Riding over the roads often presents breathtaking views no matter what time of the year.

It's the place to visit if you live in a heavily populated city and just need a breath of fresh air and refreshment for your spirit and soul.

I try to share the beauty I see with others in the best way I know of: Photography. So please enjoy!

You will have to forgive me. I travelled about with my camera a bit too late. We had a few rain storms with high wind and after it cleared, the colors were a bit 'past peak' and many of the leaves had dropped to the ground.

If you look in my "Archives" under 2007, you will see my earlier presentation of Fall's Bounty. The photos have a more intense color. It was a beautiful year for leaves. The slide show screen has a large white arrow in the middle. Click on it. It will drop away to show a smaller white arrow along the bottom of the slide show screen. Click on the smaller white arrow to have the slide show advance automatically for you.
