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:
