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.

Great Blue Heron: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 — I think this is the last shot from my session with the Great Blue Heron in the Mousam river rapids that I will share for now. Fishing the rapids is a delicate balancing act, as many a fly-fisher who works this stretch of stream, can attest. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 472mm equivalent.
