On the shore of the Atlantic Ocean in Acadia National Park. I love the big rocks and blue sea.
Saturday has been a magnificent day spent in Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine. The combination of the water's blue and the red, yellow and green trees was outstanding. There were beautiful cliffs, high mountains, pink granite rocks, sandy beaches, yellow birches, smooth stones, boats of all sizes and shapes.
If you look at the top of Cadillac Mountain you can see the people at the very top and on the cliffs. It is so high that they look like a dot from down below.
At Bar Harbor we watched the men loading and unloading the lobster boats. Then went inside and had a lobster dinner. It was a high of about 50 degrees here with a brisk breeze. The sunshine warmed it up some, or it would have felt very cold. But the views were so spectacular, that I never noticed until the sun had set and we were on our way as I had been so immersed in the wonder of God's Creation.
Just when one would have thought it could not get any better, as we were leaving Bar Harbor, on the side of the road, up on a cliff overlooking the water was a bagpiper playing. He was dressed in his kilt and the music was soooo beautiful and moving it brought tears to our eyes. What a perfect ending to a perfect day.
We asked some other people there, and they said he plays every Saturday during the summer season and today was his last time to play. How blessed were were to get to hear and see him.

oh, my, gosh! I want that photo of the bagpiper to frame! What a beautiful day you had...
What a beautiful place! I'm so glad you all got to experience the wonder and awe of Maine. I've always wanted to travel to New England. What a wonderful way to keep us posted. Looking forward to checking in with you each day. We are back from Florida- renewed and refreshed.
Wow! Those pics are amazing. I love the changing trees against the water. Keep having fun!
