A Day in the Maine Woods

Our week in Maine was spent mostly in the woods and was SO much fun.

This was my uniform for our time, complete with my camera and knee brace….and my phone in my back pocket!

I can’t wait for that knee replacement in December…

We passed so many gorgeous streams in the woods. This is one of my favorites…

I especially loved the way the shadows from the trees stretched across the water…

And then there was the muskrat!

Michael and I watched it for about ten minutes. We both came away singing “Muskrat Love.” I bet you’re singing it now, too!

After we left the woods, we stopped at the Half-Million Dollar View to look toward Katahdin. The outline is known as the “Sleeping Indian.” Can you see him?

Then we stopped at the Million Dollar View, where you can look across to Canada. Of course, we’re blocking some of the view!

I’ll leave you with one more “gorgeous autumn tree” photo…..

Michael and I love to travel and see new parts of the world and then I love to take those memories and turn them into quilts!!! I hope that you enjoy traveling along with us!!
