Boothbay Harbor - Sunset and Reflections

Our last night in Boothbay Harbor didn't originally look promising for a sunset, but then something magical happened. The sky began to take on an eerie glow as the sun began to set.

About fifteen minutes after the sun had set, there was a beautiful afterglow.

It was then that I captured my favorite photo of this trip, this mast reflection.

Here are a few more reflections.

Boats in the harbor. . .

The next morning we headed for home, but not before stopping at one last quilt shop,  Calico Basket in Windham. What were we to do? After all it was not that far out of our way . . . six quilt shops and one quilt show in four days. :-) This was a really nice shop with a lovely owner, and I'll be sure to stop there again when in the area.

One last thing, if you go to Boothbay Harbor, be sure to go to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens; we didn't have time this trip, but it is truly a special place not to be missed.
