Fog lifting in the distance from the Wonderland Trail

 

While out hiking the Wonderland Trail, we saw this vista looking back towards Mt. Desert and it almost looked like a postcard. The layers of rocks, sand, trees, fog, and finally mountains, was almost too good.

 Last full day of vacation gave us this sunset. Now we head home.

 

  On our last day of vacation we hiked on new trails, saw some places we hadn't seen before, and with some patience, we checked a very specific item from my bucket list. We saw AND heard AND shot video of loons. In over 40 years of trips to Maine, I had not seen and heard them at the same time. We were blessed with a "water-dance" of loons - an entire family of 7. After they moved on, we were then blessed with this final sunset. A fitting ending.
