Acadia: Eastern Side Off Season

Acadia National Park: Glorious Saturday afternoon along the Park Loop Road..During tourist season the road is packed with cars & buses. But November, aaaaaah, off season, barely a car in sight! There's a walking path that follows the eastern side of Mount Desert Island where we stopped from time to time before taking a short hike up Gorham Mountain. Of course I'm not unique in this, but this island is as close as I come to being in heaven on earth. Youthful, powerful energy, health, grace, renewal, spirit, love, it's all there , within & without.

  2. Rita -- Arcadia would be my kind of place to walk if I lived near it. I liked the words you used to explain the feeling of the place. Off season is the time to visit such places as I try to do when taking in a tourist place. Your watercolor takes in the feeling you express and the earthy colors of autumn. Nice! -- barbara

  5. I have walked this same place...but with many more people present. I would love to savor it in relative solitude.
