WOW. Maine’s fall leaves are just stunning. Even more so than all the leaves we’ve seen so far, if that’s at all possible. Between the colours, the lobster, the pumpkins and the sunrises, Maine’s beauty had us speechless at times. We started in Phippsburg where the lobster was delicious and the sunrise was glorious, even if my phone caught it in reds and oranges and my camera captured it in pinks and purples. Same sunrise. Different colours. Both brilliant.
Pumpkin farms lined the roads with flashes of orange as we drove past. I was excited the owner of Maple Leaf Farm was happy for me to take photos without buying a pumpkin. The owner was excited that she had her first Kiwi visiting her pumpkin farm 😂
The drive from Phippsburg to Bar Harbor was so lovely I’m just going to post the photos for you to see for yourselves – not that the photos can convey how picturesque it is here.
And when we thought Maine couldn’t get any more striking, we drove around Acadia National Park and were proved wrong. From the calm ponds to the waves crashing onto the rocky shoreline, Acadia is easily one of the most beautiful national parks we have been to. Also, I know there are a lot of reflection photos in this post, but it just can’t be helped; it’s like being in some sort of watercolor kaleidoscope.
As we wave goodbye to Maine, we have officially crossed the halfway point of our road trip. Maine is our 25th state and New Hampshire, you are leading the way for the remaining 25 states. This journey has been incredible so far and we can’t wait to see the rest of America!
