A number of friends and readers of MillersTime have commented that there have not been any of Ellen’s photos posted in awhile. While we have had to curtail some of our more adventuresome travels, Ellen has continued her ‘missed career’ (photography) as you will see in this post.

We spent a week this past September visiting longtime friends In Maine, exploring parts of Acadia National Park, enjoying cool nights and perfect days, and loving numerous lobster lunches and dinners.

We disagreed about whether we had ever explored Acadia, but we were spurred on having just read a friend’s recently published book (Steve Kemp’s An Exhaltation: John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s Crusade to Save America’s Wonderlands). We also recalled renting a sailboat in Bar Harbor with another set of friends, at least 50 years ago, when we did not know (and still don’t) how to sail.

This turned out to be a low-key photography trip:  A number of these photos — both landscapes and details were taken in the same place — a cloudy morning at Round Pond. We missed the changing of the leaves, but particularly enjoyed an afternoon carriage ride through many of the ‘roads’ Rockefeller built or made sure were preserved in Acadia.
