I‘ve spent some time during the summer in coastal Maine. The scenery was as you might imagine: a rocky shoreline with the water on the chilly side. The weather was sunny and warm and there were lots of visitors around, but not too many so it didn’t seem overly crowded.
Because it was summer, there were hydrangeas in bloom and boats on the water.
Away from the water you could find trails to follow and wildflowers to enjoy.
And here are some of the other scenes that I admired while I was in Maine:
I’ve been wanting to visit Maine for years, and these photos only underscore that desire. Lovely post. :)
I hope that you get the chance to visit Maine, especially in the summer! It’s an idyllic place…
Looks very tranquil.
You’re quite right about that- it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the summer!
You didn’t take pictures of my favorite Maine things………..LOBSTERS…………LOL Maine is the most beautiful place in the lower 48 by far.
I think the lobsters were all hiding – they prefer not to be seen by hungry humans! And I agree that Maine is a delightful place :)
Looks peaceful
It really is, and it’s so pretty too!
Lovely, I hope to visit the East coast someday.
I hope that you do too. It’s a unique part of the country and just so pleasant to spend time there!
I *almost* made it to Maine, many years ago. Bar Harbour was on the agenda, but somehow got cut. You’ve rekindled my desire to try again, Meg! The photos are wonderful.
Thank you Robin! And I hope you get to visit Bar Harbor – it’s an exquisite place, just what you’d imagine a New England seaside town to look like.
Looks like a great place to visit.
You’re right about that! And it’s just as beautiful in person as it is in pictures…
Lovely shots! Hope to make it there someday.
Thanks, and if you can go to Maine sometime you definitely should. It’s a lovely place to visit!
Beautiful photos. Another place I would love to visit. Thanks for sharing your photos and information.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks Francine – and I’d highly recommend a visit! It’s a beautiful place :)
Maine looks beautiful. I love the shots of the boats.
I saw a lot of boats there, and they just sparkled in the water! And you’re right, Maine is simply lovely…
Now I want to visit Maine! Beautiful pics ♥
There’s a lot to see and do there – it’s a big state :) And the coastline is really beautiful, so you’d definitely want to see that!
It looks breathtaking! Thanks for sharing you photos!
It really is! And you’re welcome :)
:)
Beautiful, just as I’ve imagined it. Our neighbors moved back there this year.
You should see if you could go there and visit them, or at least get a tour! I think you’d like it – it’s such a lovely place…
They issued an invitation before they left. It would be great to see them and the scenery.
Now that sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you. I hope you have the chance to go!
What a beautiful area.
It really is. And it’s especially charming in the summer, too!
Beautiful Photos – Happy Tuesday:)
Thanks Renee, and you have a great day too!
Looks like a wonderful and relaxing place to spend a weekend.
You’re absolutely right – it’s a perfect place to get away and enjoy being outdoors! And it’s really pretty, too… :)
Maine looks very restful and relaxing, I could just imagine nodding off on the coast listening to the sea and feeling the breeze on my skin. You’ve transported and soothed me, thank you Meg.
You really described it perfectly! It’s calm, relaxing, and a fine place to unwind. And you’re welcome :)
Lovely shots. We actually looked at buying a B&B in Maine….but those darn winters are entirely too harsh for this southern gal,,,,LOL!
You’re right about winter in Maine. It’s great there in the summer, but if you have a B & B you have to consider all twelve months – I think you made a good decision!
Such a picturesque and relaxing place to visit for the summer. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos!
You’re welcome! It’s such an appealing place and I’m so glad you can see that in the pictures :)
Ahhh, Maine. Lived there prior to my current state of residence. Loved it, miss it, but do still go when we get the chance. Did you bring any Gelato back with you? Was there any left in Italy?
It’s so nice that you’re near enough to be able to go there when you can… Believe it or not I didn’t have any gelato there! It’s more of a seafood kind of place :)
LOL…yes it is very much that. One of my favorite places to go too. :)
It would be a perfect place for a weekend or a vacation!
Adore Maine. I have only been once but absolutely loved every minute.
It’s great that you’ve been there and have good memories! I think it’s the kind of place that leaves a good impression on you… :)
As an Aussie there’s a lot for me to learn about the states. One of the things I do know is the reputation of bountiful produce. Specially being Maine Lobsters ;) stunning imagery and shores too!
Those lobsters are famous! (And very impressive that you know that)… It’s just another reason Maine is a great place to visit!
Your photos really captured the feeling of Maine. I love it here.
I think Maine in the summer is delightful, and I’m so happy that you liked the pictures. I enjoy learning more about Maine from your posts too!
Never been to Maine – and now I should! Looks so serene and quaint! Did you find any gelato here? ;)
I think you’d like it if you get the chance to go there! It’s really charming. I didn’t have gelato, but I did have ice cream… :)
Looks like a wonderful place to be. I enjoyed the mini Maine vacation I experienced when I looked at all of them! Nice series.
Maine is such a nice destination (especially in the summer)! You must have good memories of your trip there – I know how much I enjoyed my visit… :)
Wonderful photos Meg! I’ve only been to Maine once awhile back when one of my friends moved up there temporarily. Ever since then, I’ve been wanting to go back, especially before this summer ends! There’s always something about New England’s coast in the summer that conjures up a romantic experience.
Maine is someplace you don’t forget once you’ve been there (especially in the summer)! I agree that the New England coast is charming and well worth a visit. I hope you get back there this summer, too… :)
I traveled on Maine’s mid-coast last summer – it’s a special place! I have fond memories of my trip there. I especially liked the little towns of Bath and Camden and the Bass Harbor area on Mount Desert Island. I want to visit again in the winter! Your pictures are beautiful!
Those are all wonderful places to visit! I’ve always gone to Maine in the summer, so I’d be interested to know what it’s like in other seasons. Maybe you’ll have the chance to find out… :)
