Fog. We woke up to a white world, socked in; we could see nothing. Occasionally a yellow hint
to the light gave evidence that the sun was trying to burn through. When it finally had the upper hand, the drama of the fog’s last try was breathtaking. The time difference between this first photo and the last is 4 minutes; its all done in a flash.
This beautiful September weather we are having portends great Fall color next month. To the north of here it has already started and is gradually moving down the state. It should arrive here in earnest by the second week of October and
basically last all month barring a ferocious wind storm. These photos are from October 20 last year.
We still have open at Seanook four nights coming up this season, October 20 – 23, 2013. The best restaurants will be open. Ports of Italy will serve through November 3.

This is Maine the way it should be! September.
