Acadia National Park

I really needed to get away after my dog's passing, and after very short notice I took a quick trip to Acadia National Park. Just some time to clear my mind, get use to the new normal and recoup.  It worked.

Everybody says the same thing, Acadia is a special place. The hiking is great, the natural history is incredible and the whole feeling of the island is just sublime.

Rocks Rocks!!!! But first-WOW that photo of that crow! He definitely wanted you to know you aren't alone. What a cool, cool messenger! And to get that shot. Man you had to be jazzed about that!
Your sky photos and "scapes" are gorgeous, but you know my heart goes to the rocks. I love them all and how cool whoever piled them. Did you do that?
I love that last photo. I have a "thing" for rocks with lines in them and have several I was just admiring (again). Maybe I'll take a couple of shots and post them.
Fantastic post! Glad you got to get out and breathe deeply and be soothed.

Have a great rest of the week!

Acadia really did it or me, nut. And I was the stacker of the rocks.

Hi, really beautiful place, I really liked that Ocotber 15 storm photo. That's naked rawness of nature well captured!
