Maine Fall Color 1

On our second day in Maine, Bruce and I went in search of "Fall Color."  The trees along the coast had not yet completely turned so we headed inland.  We drove up Highway 9, northeast toward New Brunswick.  

If the map of Maine is a person in profile, we drove to his nose and then back south along the coast 'til we headed inland back to Bangor. We visited Campobello in New Bruswick and then more lighthouses and fishing villages along the coast.   We "tickled Maine's mustache" as we came back south.  I will be posting these photos soon.

Today, I'm sharing some of the colorful leaves as we headed northeast.

 Bruce particularly likes the color here in Maine.  It is interspersed with Evergreen trees and he feels it makes it more interesting.  We have similar fall color in the Pacific Northwest.

All the trees had not yet turned, but the weather report was projecting cold weather that night.  Unfortunately, they were also projecting wind, which could blow the leaves off the trees.  The next day we headed into Maine's North Woods to see what we could find.
 


Here is a video of the above river.  Bear in mind that I'm new at taking videos.  I promise I'll improve.
