Peak color has arrived Downeast. Maine never looks more glorious than she does these few weeks of the year. Nights turn crisp, and we relish the lingering warmth of the sun. Marsh grasses shift from green to gold. Trees give one last hurrah, brightening to yellow, orange, and red before fading into winter. Here are a few (or a dozen) of my favorite pictures from the past week.
