With a little less than a week before we depart Maine, it has decided to put on a a few spectacular displays for us. First we visited the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and were not only greeted by a wonderful array of blooming flowers, colorful trees, but also some very interesting wooden sculptures.

Next we visited the Pemaquid Lighthouse. I had been there a number of times. It is one of the most famous, and one of my favorites, but this time there was something extra waiting for us.

Just as a side note, and as a lesson to all my camera toting friends, I thought that this would just be an ordinary tourist day so I only brought the barest of camera gear. That’s why you can’t see the second rainbow, but I promise that we did!

Then as if to say, “Hey, wait a minute. I have so much more to offer you!” We got to witness this rare nighttime display.

And we didn’t even have to travel to the Arctic Circle to see it.

In the waning days of our visit, I can’t wait to see what else Maine has to offer us.
