Photo Friday: Autumn in Maine

-

This is purely an eye candy post--I spent a couple of weeks in Maine with a friend back in October, some of the time on the coast, some at a cabin on Webb Lake near Blue Mountain State Park. I'm not going to try to make a narrative of this--just share a bunch of pretty pictures :)

    Just taken seven of your mailings out of my junk box. It's so irritating! There were ten more including subscription things. But still, I ofund it, and it was worth it. What wonderful pictures. I love Maine, by proxy. :)

      Thanks all around! Can you add the notification address to your contacts? That *might* keep it out of the junk folder. Maine in the fall is wonderful. Summer is fine, but too hot, humid, and buggy--I'd rather be out West then.

WEP challenges are FREE and open to all. On the 1st   of the challenge month, there will be a   get-your-thinking-caps   on post.

Participants link up with their DLs (Direct Links to their entry).  Learn all about it here .    My entry this time is based on an actual incident. Mom and my brothers will recognize it. My apologies to them for the non-trivial liberties I took with history and their personalities. We are now also meant to provide a tag line for our stories, so here's mine: What terrors lurk in the root cellar?     The Scream The house we lived in that year wasn’t much. The wind blew in everywhere you could imagine a draft, and some places you couldn’t. The old enclosed porch we used as a root cellar was worse. It wasn’t just the win...
