The weather today was perfect. A clear blue sky without a cloud, little breeze, high temperature right around 70, fall color is really starting to show in the trees. A brilliant red maple here and there sprinkled onto the green hillsides.
I had the pleasure of taking a couple from the UK on day trip yesterday. The day started with rain showers but they were soon over and the day improved to a crystal afternoon with a few clouds. We visited a list of sights that I was able to choose to provide a sampling of the Maine coast.
In the last few days clients have had more to see than just great weather and beautiful scenery. The critters have been showing up more than usual and in unusual ways. One afternoon on a perch fishing trip we were anchored in a cove out of the breeze. I heard a splash and looked up to see a young osprey about twenty yards away, nothing unusual here. Except the young bird was floating on the surface of the pond, wings outstretched, rather than launching himself (or herself) back into the air.
