Mountain views.
Valley views.
Vibrant autumn color.
And love locks… Cathedral ledge has it all.
Even lovers with a sense of humor.
It was glorious… and that was only the front half.
Walking along the sides, we made friends.
Took 100 more pictures….
And simply marveled at the beauty of nature.
Even the husband was quiet.
Honestly, there’s only so many times you can say wow.
It really was a special spot.
This way?
Beautiful.
That way?
Fabulous.
Gaze in wonder.
Take picture.
Repeat.
There were rocks!
And trees!
And they made me realize how blessed I am to live in a truly wonderful part of the world.
We made one final lap along the fence line…
And strolled a few final steps across those marvelous rocks…
I tried again…. unsuccessfully… to get a double selfie where the husband actually looks at the camera.
But no matter.
We took one last look and bid goodbye to a place I’d revisit in a heartbeat next time we’re in the area.
I still get the impression that he doesn’t know you are following him…

I feel that, if he ever disappears and the police ask, “Do you have a picture of your husband?” they will get more than they bargained for…

I have a few thousand shots of the back of his head, so yeah. We’re good.

A more likely explanation?
He just doesn’t pay attention to me anymore.

It is simply breathtaking River. That one picture of your hubs makes me wonder if he’s thinking of getting back to the baby barn to finish it (or try to). If I had to caption it it would say “Hmm I wonder how my baby barn is doing right about now?” lmao

Baby barn is looking quite pitiful right now, 3/4’s done and currently being covered in snow!

I spent about six months in Maine back in the early 90’s, but it was at a shipyard in Portland and in the dead of winter. One day I am going to go back, and to New Hampshire too. I prefer to do it via the Appalachian Trail.
P.S. If you ever happen to be in Portland, and it’s still there, check out Napis Pizza. Above the bar should be a commissioning poster of my ship. I signed it Lee “Loveshack” Lovelace. A group of us sailors were the first customers they ever served and it became our hang out while we were in Maine.

I just searched for it and came up empty. I’m afraid the pizza place might have gone down with the ship…

Yeah, I actually just searched for it too. It’s closed down now. 😦 Makes me wonder what happened to all the memorabilia that used to hang in the bar.

It would be nice to think Loveshack Lovelace is gracing someone’s wall even as we speak..

Well he’s graced many people’s floor, why not a wall? Gravity, yes I think gravity is the answer to that one.

Thanks to your photos and videos from this trip I finally understand what all the “leaf peeping” buzz regarding part of the country is about, why it’s so popular. Simply gorgeous. Someday I hope to see it for myself. I appreciate being brought along for the ride.

Everyone should experience the show at least once. And mind you, when I took that trip it was technically past peak leaf season. It’s much more glorious then!

If you really want to get your camera-shy hubby to face the music — I mean the camera — promise him you’ll never ever give him any more grief about bringing home junk treasures.
Now that’s such a good idea, I should be a marriage counselor (just ignore my wife looking over my shoulder and laughing her head off).

I shall take your advice under advisement.
And you should expect more photos of the back of my husband’s head…

I really do need to get off my bum and take a foliage tour of the northeast. The husband and I keep saying we’re going to do it, and then end up staying in Florida, where nothing changes except for the mugshots on my local news website.
