Of course I took a lot of photos in Maine and during our travels into Canada… not all of them have made it neatly into my blog posts, but there are still some that I found funny, inspiring, beautiful, quirky or just plain interesting.
Often taken just quickly out of the window as we drove, here are a few…

We looked out for moose, and I would have loved to see one, good for them, but sadly for us they stayed away from the roads and I looked for naught…

We are in central Maine, we look at our location on the map and look wistfully at our proximity to Canada. My American friend has visited some of the major Canadian cities further west but amazingly, never been directly north to the intersection of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
