One of our favorite things about early winter in Portland, Maine, is the fact that hundreds of crows roost in our neighborhood. Beautiful, stark, and wintery.
Information about crows in urban Maine can be found here.

Prouts Neck Cliff Walk
There is no better month to walk along the breathtaking Cliff Walk than November. The waves are wild, the path is quiet, and the winter berries are brilliant.
Beach Collection
Things we found on the beach while walking along the cliff walk at Prout's Neck. They remind us of an Ernst Haeckel illustration!
Stonington
We love driving down the Blue Hill Peninsula, crossing the gorgeous suspension bridge to Deer Isle, and following the road to where it ends, in Stonington.
The town is vibrant and busy in the summer, quieter this time of year but still humming with life.

The End of Apple Season
As we enter the second half of October, we're fast approaching the end of apple season in southern Maine. We took advantage of another beautiful weekend to visit two orchards, Thompson's Orchard in New Gloucester, and Hansel's Orchard in North Yarmouth. While Thompson's was picked nearly clean (they have excellent apple cider doughnuts, though), Hansel's still had plenty of trees weighed down with perfect apples.
