I've been in Maine for the week. My Super-hero husband took our children for a whole week so I could come back to Maine (by myself!) and spend some time with my family. I missed the foliage peak by about a week but the colors are still impressive. Every day I ooohed and awwwed over every leaf and tree. I took walks around my old neighborhood, kicking the piles of leaves and stuffing my pockets with bits of orange, red and yellow. My Mother and sisters believe the foliage will be enough to draw me back to Maine eventually--don't tell them--but no amount of stunning color could warm me through another New England winter. I'll just have to make the flight back every fall...
It has been a week and I miss my husband and children terribly. I have had a great time here but I am ready to go home.

What is the fluffy white feathery thing??
jealous....
Milk-weed pods, Suzanne. In the spring and summer they are green and filled with a while, sticky "milk". In the fall they dry up and split open letting out the seeds. Kind of like a dandylion.
What a brave husband you have. I am not sure that mine would do the same. You always take such beautiful pictures Cassie. I hope you had a wonderful trip.
wow! what vibrant colors. i miss all the fall colors in utah (which pale in comparison to maine's colors). you take great pictures! i like the milk weed pods! so neat!
