This morning, Monday, October 6, after a 5-day stay at our hotel in the seaside village of Wells, Maine, we continued our drive down the coast. It was a beautiful day, with temperatures in the 50s, a light breeze, with mostly fair weather clouds in the morning, turning to more overcast in the afternoon, but clearing as the evening came on.

We took every opportunity to turn down the roads leading off of US 1 towards the seacoast. We were rewarded with breathtaking views, both of the sea and the coastal towns, but also of beautiful homesteads, some old, some new, but surrounded with such foliage and grounds, we couldn't help but stop now and then to take a picture.

This is a home in the village of York, Maine, representative of so many to be seen along Route 1A. The pictures we take can hardly do justice to the scenes we experience at every turn of the road through these coastal towns of Maine.
