Is there anything more wonderful than summer in Maine? I think not.
In lieu of a lot of words today, I offer a collage of photos documenting the wonders of our gorgeous state taken in July and August, from the vantage point of beautiful Hancock County.

The most perfect place to swim

Foggy mornings usually give way to sunny afternoons
Local markets with fabulous produce are everywhere
A safe harbor
‘Tis the season for creative literary fundraisers . . .
. . . and sightings of Maine crime writers in the wild. Last evening we were delighted to catch Paul Doiron speaking about his newest Mike Bowditch novel, ALMOST MIDNIGHT, at Brooklin’s Friend Memorial Library.
August blooms
Wonderful, scenic hikes
The views go on forever
One last sunset

Curious writers wonder…did you go to the dance.

I wondered if someone would ask that! We were not able to get over there. Brooksville is on the other side of the Blue Hill peninsula. Because it was a pea soup night, we opted not to drive over narrow, deer-dense roads in the heavy fog after seeing Paul at the Brooklin library.
Lovely! Thanks.
I enjoyed
Beautiful photos.
Ahhhhhh! Summer is so lovely here, and you’ve captured its essence. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!
Gorgeous tribute to summer in Maine. I could taste the blueberries.
Michele I was a Dorsey from Mississippi, do you have any relatives there?
Love the photos. I am coming to Maine in September, probably no further up the coast than ? Portland. Were any of these taken in that area?
