I spent the day yesterday walking around Bar Harbor with some very good pals. Walking and talking, we putzed around the tide pools, took some stills, skipped some stones and took in the area’s beautiful scenery and fresh ocean air. We toured Acadia National Park and spent some time at the top of Cadillac Mountain, the best vantage point around. The people were as colorful as the trees – old and young, indigenous and imported. Mingling amongst the shops, restaurants and pubs made for a day of colors, smells and flavors that definitely matched the cool, breezy fall season.
