Fall in the 207

---

As fall is fast approaching I wanted to take some snap shots to send out to the folks "from away" as we say here in Maine (also known as the 207 according to a fairly popular radio station in the state). I haven't had a New England fall in a long time and do to the large quantities of water received this sumer, the foliage was rather super duper. So over this last weekend I took a nice drive through New Gloucester and up into Readfield and took some snap shots of the spring foliage and of Sabbath Day Lake and Maranacook Lake. On a side note, I took a 35 foot jump off a large train trestle into the VERY cold water of Maranacook Lake (refreshing after the fact, frigid at first). I also got to celebrate a "second wedding" this weekend for Toebee and Crystal and I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was so busy enjoying the company and relaxing that I neglected to take some photos. Truely a bummer, but the times were good.

These photos are beautiful, Luke. Those leaves, that lake...more than that, it really seems to fit you. Happy Fall.

Wow
Your pictures are really beautiful, Luke. You are one talented man! When folks are wearing flannel and sweatshirts, you gotta figure jumping into that water is gonna be intense.

thanks for posting
Nice post dude. Things are looking good in your neck of the woods. Just watch out that you don't do too much "relaxing" or "enjoying company".
