Even though the temperature is currently 18F/-8C, it was close to 60F/16C a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I took a drive up to Portland Maine to look in the shops and have a bit of lunch while enjoying the pleasant weather. Here are a few images. BTW, we had lunch at The Crooked Mile, whose signboard is pictured above. It is a coffee and sandwich shop that locals frequent and made the most amazing salads.
I do love a day in Portland. 🙂
We don’t get up there often enough.
Portland looks very inviting. What crustacean ends up in those yellow traps?
Thank you…That is a lobster trap. Cheers!
The lobster trap photo is my favorite!
Thank you, Lois. I had fun exploring down on the docks. Cheers!
So quaint! 😊Very lovely! Glad you had a good day😊
Thank you, Garfield. Cheers!
The 1st photo is amazing 😍
Thank you so much.
love the lobster trap photo!! it seems you had a splendid day in Portland 🙂
Thank you, Alex. It was a very fun day. Have a great week. Cheers!
I’ll have to remember Maine Squeeze when I go up there. Thanks!
We did not go in but I liked the sign. The Crooked Mile is a good sandwich and coffee shop but if you’re in Maine, you may want lobster or other seafood.
I have been to Maine. I enjoy the New England coastline. Each of the towns are so unique, quaint or whimsical. Just lovely collection of photographs, Chris. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. I have more images to show in coming weeks. It was a great day for making photos.
The painted words on old brick really strike me as cool and weathered, Chris. 🙂
I have a think for painted signs on brick like this. They look so classic. Cheers
Do try the Vodoo donuts Chris:) They are my fav 🙂
I will have to do that next trip. I love trying new donut shops. Cheers!
The lobster trap shot is the best and my fave!
Thank you. It came out well and a few people have liked this one. Cheers
Also lovely and day trips are the best! ☺
Thank you, Hedy. I love a good day trip. Cheers!
Portland looks like a great place to explore! Love the b/w shot! Cheers! 😄
Thank you. It was a fun place to explore on an unseasonably warm day. Cheers
