Day 43: ME IV

· Maine Event

Today, Sunday, October 13! Today was authentically chilly in the low 40s with cool to cold breezes depending on how close to the water you are. We went to Peaks Island in the middle of the day and then had an early dinner at Novare Rez. It was just starting to drizzle when we got back. Tonight and tomorrow are supposed to be rainy, quite a relief after the dry wind. Tomorrow is our last work day before vacation and it promises to be busy.

Good Morning Portland!

A few beach roses still blooming
Common Eider
The visible birds up along the top are cormorants the white splotch is a male Eider and the brown blurb below him is the female. Amazing how well she can blend in with the shore.
Gotta love all the hand-painted signs!
Nests revealed with the leaves leaving the trees

Novare Rez beer drinking container case. We sat inside which is sunken but with windows above ground. It is very cozy and getting decked out for Halloween.
Walking home while the rain has temporarily stopped. Brrrr it's cold!
