We took the Loop Road that goes around Arcadia National Park and is mostly a two-lane, one-way 27 miles trip, which connects the Park's lakes, mountains, forests, and rocky coast. Access to Cadillac Mountain is from this road.

These pictures are from our beginning and the last photo is from the parking lot at Jordan Pond, which has great photo opportunities and a restaurant, both of which are a must stop.  The weather was fabulous during our two day stay.

The following pictures were taken at Eagle Lake on the way to Bar Harbor.  The trees with the bright red leaves sparked around the area and stood out due to the other trees not having reached peak foliage.  The petrified tree root caught my eye as well, which brings to my mind one of the tips that is often given where taking pictures.  That tip is to look around from the primary focus point of your picture; walk around a little as well.  Normally, one will find other points of interest of which to take a picture.

We were about 7 to 10 days early for the foliage in New Hampshire so we took a side trip to Bar Harbor, Maine for two days.  Yes, it is pronounced 'Bah Hah-Ba.'

Ironically, as is the case, the foliage is many places started to 'pop' overnight and we got to see some of what we expected.  It was kind of like the weather there... If you do not like the weather, wait ten minutes and it will change.

On the way to Bar Harbor, we stopped at the GPS company Garmon, which purchased Delorne; the map making company, to see Eartha, one humongous globe.  See the following link.

I found the chain and the buoy picture as we walked around Northside Harbor.  The sunrises are from Cadillac Mountain and from the Lighthouse at Bass Harbor on the mornings that we were there.

Quiz Time....

This is the Rexall Drug Store in Bar Harbor, Maine.  The fountain service is still active, although we got there at closing time.

The Quiz:  What is anachronistic in this photo?  What would not be there 'back in the day.'

I have not had time to post pictures, but will very soon.

Today's pictures were taken as we traveled the Kancamagus Highway.  The foliage was not at the peak, however, there were some vibrant spots here and there.  It is a great ride anytime of the year.  There is a covered bridge near the east end of the highway, which we missed.

We are in New Hampshire to take pictures of the foliage, which is NOT...  We are early for this year's peak season, which varies from year to year.  I spoke with a lady who said that the foliage will not be as bright and vibrant this year due to the hot weather this Summer and Fall.  But, there is always something waiting for a camera to appear.

Yesterday, we took a day trip to north to the eastern part of the White Mountains.  One of the pictures that I had on my list was Mt. Chocorua.  Fifty, yes '50' years ago, prior to our marriage, Linda and I took this same day trip and I have some pictures taken with a Canon AE1 camera at home.  I am going to try to post them when we return to Georgia.

For years, I have thought about this scene and always expected that this field had a big home on it.  I am thankful for the little blessings of life.  I still get chills thinking about it.

We were in downtown Manchester, NH yesterday afternoon were shown Cat Alley.  The plague is a history of it.

I enjoy sanctioned, quality, and tasteful graffiti.  The obnoxious, defacing garbage speaks to the mindset of the one with the spray can.

Here is a sampling.
