A PROMISE

This evening I decided to take some pictures just for me. While wandering around Portland Head Light, I saw, hidden in the sumac bushes, a hint of what's to come. This has been a good summer as far as not getting rained out, give or take a tornado or two, but it's been pretty warm with a lot more humidity than I feel is fair! Anyway, these turning leaves reminded me that the next season - the BEST season - is right around the corner:

SUMMER SUPPER

This little guy was (almost) completely oblivious to the photo session going on around him. He kept eating his supper until we got a little too close for comfort:

More from Mackworth Island:

...and this could have been a scene from the Civil War, when Fort Gorges in the background was built:

AHHHH........SUMMER!
