Colorful Maine

JWF Gardens, Maine

 

BLOSSOMS

One of the attractions of this part of Maine is the simply glorious Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Less than ten years old, these gardens are beautifully designed, incorporating native stones midst the plantings, and encompassing not only the expected flowers, trees and shrubs, but the unusual and the unexpected. No matter how many times we visit—and we visit often, this week with my younger sister and brother-in-law—we are always pleased and surprised at new discoveries.

You can even walk a labyrinth and meditate. Bare feet suggested.

SUNSETS

I think sunsets over water are more impressive than those over just land.  Several nights ago we were treated to a dazzling intense Maine sunset.
