Maine! Early Autumn Sun on the Water-meadow

Maine! Early autumn sun

Early autumn sunshine on a corner of the forest along the Kennebunk Bridle Path in Kennebunk, Maine, USA. Typically for this year, the oaks are redder than the maples. ?? OM Systems OMD EM5Mkiii with 12-45mm zoom at 24mm equivalent. Program mode with in-camera HDR. Processed in Pixelmator Pro.

Light in the forest…

Fall foliage in Southern Maine

Maybe I just have not gotten to the right places, but this just might be as good as the foliage gets this year in southern Maine. We still have not had a frost, and the maples are just giving up hope and falling off the trees with only a touch of yellow. In the usual places for an early turn, where the trees stand with their feet in a marshy spot, the trees are already bare. So it goes. We will enjoy the turn of the seasons one way or another.

Maine: fall fog

It was foggy down along the coast the past few days and the fall foliage, what we have so far, barely burned through. OM Systems OM-1 with 12-45mm zoom at 24mm equivalent. HDR Scene mode.

Maine! Flood-tide marsh

This is mostly standing marsh grasses on any normal day, with the high water line a good 6 feet below the surface…but the ocean has invaded on the flood-tide this week.

It is the Bittersweet time of year…

You know, changing the clocks, dark until well after coffee time, frost every night…and, in the fields and forest, the Bittersweet fruiting out. You have to suspect that anything that gaudy that grows so prolifically and saps the life out of native trees and overwhelms native bushes is invasive…and indeed, this is Asiatic Bittersweet, and pure bitter for our natural habits…nothing sweet about it. I photographed this plant climbing all over the fence lines at Laudholm Farms in Wells, Maine. iPhone SE with Sirui 10x macro lens. Apple Camera app with Smart HDR engaged. Processed in Apple Photos.
