Pieces of Portland

I recently had a clown event in the Saco area and my husband was kind enough to take the day off (so I wouldn't get lost, driving). So we, along with our son, decided to make a day of it and enjoy the area. The weather was glorious and with it being a Tuesday, the crowds were at a minimum. What could be better! These are but a few of the photographs from our trip.

"Lighted Window"
Though all the light isn't from the window, the way the light filters through is still quite lovely here.




"Caught on Camera"
I could hardly believe I was able to catch this just right. If you look closely...there really is a hedgehog and dove in this doorway. Yippee for me!




"Pier"
Okay...so this was taken at Old Orchard Beach (my bad). Enjoy.




"Fighting the Waves"
We were able to enjoy quite a few ducks and caught this little guy just in time.( Yes, his head is just above the wave in the first photo.)




"Flower in Focus"
I love the way you can glimpse the ocean past this blossom.




"Oceanview"
Makes me want to learn sailing!



"Portland Head Light"
I know it's been done before...but who can resist a lighthouse.

Funny Things!

I just couldn't escape the irony. I mean, really, with the whole ocean, is a fire hydrant warranted? Clearly...I'm not a fireman!

Yes, I know. My son asked why I'd want a picture of porta-potties too. I just think it's funny!
