This is a little church that sits in a curve on highway 80 going towards the Blue Ridge Parkway. I always take pictures of this church in the fall time with all the fall colors but this is the first time I've taken a picture in the spring.
The lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth is one of the most photographed light houses in Maine. I use the wide-angle lens here in the shot.
Following the northern route of Vermont Route 100 , I passed this lovely bridge with all of the fall colors and had to stop and take a photo.

The room was clean and neat. It had the most comfortable bed! Only one problem, the curtain left a gap on one side. Anyone could look straight in and see the whole room because of a strategically placed wall mirror. That issue was easily corrected by tucking the curtain in the door before closing ...
