Today was a very nice fall day for Maine, roughly in the 50’s, cool and crisp with a bright sunshine. I got up early today… I normally sleep in. I saw that it was a nice clear day so I got ready and headed for Bar Harbor, Maine.

The Foliage on the way to Bar Harbor was very pretty, so many bright yellow and orange leaves, they gave off their own radiances as if they have a light source within. After I passed through Ellsworth, I was nearly to Bar Harbor, I could see the Ocean, the tide was out, which is just what I wanted. I stopped and took a few photos of the seaweed beach. It’s amazing to think how the moon affects so many things on this Earth. After taking photos and just sitting on a rock breathing in the salty air I got in the car and made my way to Bar Harbor. I decided to take one of the Acadia routes around Cadillac Mountain and towards Sand Beach. There were surprisingly a lot of people at the beach, not swimming of course, but just hanging out. Sandy Beach is made of sand and tiny pieces of sea shells. It was great to relax on the beach and climb the salted rocks to the right of Sand Beach. I’ve seen a lot of beaches, but you can only see a beach like this in Maine or in other eastern States. You first see the Ocean, than the sandy beach and than Evergreens all in one package.

After awhile, I headed towards Thunder Hole, which is a cave in the ledge along the beach, when the tide is in, it makes a thundering canon noise, hence the name. After the sites, I just drove throughout the park and took random photos of the scenery. I kept thinking, “How can anyone say and believe that there is no God?”. Everywhere you look, you see His Glory and works in His Creation. There is no way that everything you see from the chemical makeup of metals that form from different elements to the very simplistic way of communication, mathematics, “just happened”. Everything is created to Glorify God, see Romans 11:36.

So, for all of readers out there, here are some photos for you to enjoy. They are cropped to save bandwidth, but if you’d like to have the original size, send me an e-mail.

As I exited my apartment building this morning I was greeted by the blinding sun piercing over the tops of the evergreen trees, as I made my way back to sight a frost bitten ground was revealed to my dismay. I headed to my car, watching my breath leave my mouth as a result of my moisture filled air condensing into fog from the cold air. I made it to my car to find that, it too, was covered in a thin layer of frost that needed to be scrapped off. On my 1 mile journey to work, I saw a boy clad in shorts and a vest, walking to a nearby middle school and thought, “do parents care about their children anymore?”

This weekend looks like it’s going to be nice, which is great, because August has not had many good weekends. I am planning on heading down to the coast of Maine to see the foliage; it is supposedly at peak right now. If I do go, I will be sure to post about it tomorrow with some photos.

I took today off from work to enjoy the nice fall weather we are having. Low 70’s with a crisp breeze. The leaves have started to turn, but nothing to get excited about, yet. I drove up to Dexter to see my grandparents, when I arrived, they were not home. I decided to take a walk in the fields and photograph some scenery. I took quit a few photos. I have found that the photos look much clearer when I have the resolution set to 2272×1704 and have the saturation turned up a bit. I found a few things that would make a great macro image. If you want the un-cropped image, let me know. You can see them here.

After checking out the field behind my old house, the frog ponds and the woods, I ventured into the corn fields and into another part of the woods. I got a little lost tried to find the old railroad trestle, but eventually I found it. One of my favorite things to do is to walk through the woods and listen to all of the animals, feel the breeze flow over you and take in the scent of autumn.

Today we climb Peaks of Otter (Sharp Top) which you can see from Mom’s porch. The hike took about an hour and half. It’s about 3,500 feet up. 3,000 feet up there’s a ledge named Buzzards Edge. I went out and there are huge rocks you can climb up on and look for miles and miles. I met a few guys there, they attend Liberty University. We talked for a few minutes. After, I met up with Mom and Jack at the top of the Sharp Top. What an amazingly beautiful view. You can look in a complete circle. There are some rocks that you can climb up on and I did, Mom was nervous but took some pretty neat photos of me. There’s a camp on top as well that people use to camp out at night. I’d love to do that sometime. We had a snack and headed back down. I wanted Mom to get a photo of me on Buzzards Edge. I climbed down too far and got stuck…. I finally was able to get out.

We headed down and went home to rest. Vacation is over… Time to go home. I know I’m going to miss Mom, Jack , Bugsy and Virginia. I am really considering moving down to VA.

Today was very warm for this time of year, 60’s and a nice warm breeze. I went to church then headed to my moms. We took a walk in the field and I took some photos with my new Konica Minolta Dimage Z3. I saw a Musk Rat in one of the frog ponds. Mom took bugsy out on a leash, she used go out on her own but kept getting worms and flees, so she is not allowed outside unless she is tied.

Mom and Jack are moving next Tuesday and I am not looking forward to it, I feel selfish, but I love my mom and am going to miss her. I know she’ll be happy in Virginia. Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here, sometimes no where… I do not fit in in most places. Maybe Maine is not my place in life, I know God will reveal it to me in time. I do like VA from when I visited, it’s the “Bible Belt” which is where I would like to be, maybe I would fit in better there.

Lois & Clark; The Adventures of Superman season one is coming out in June, which is sort of exciting, I love the Superman mythos and that show was one of my favorites when I was younger. Jack bought a Sabre sword from the Cival war for me during the trip to VA, it is pretty cool. I have it hanging on the wall by my other sword and American flag.
