The nip of the ocean breeze on my nose makes me want to hurry the dogs a little faster to get back to my cozy cottage for a cup of hot chocolate. Later as I gaze out my front window towards the ocean that is obscured by the large conifers that sway gently in the cool ocean breeze, I yawn and wonder what the work week will bring and when the first flakes of winter will start to fall.  I will feel drowsy and dreamy until the ground freezes and the time is here to don the warm gloves and hit the pond for some ice fishing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be visiting areas around the island with photographs and descriptions of the beauty I find in and around Acadia National Park for others who love this beautiful place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoy my first installment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2067420062520071768-4961463296494906248?l=acadiasbeauty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acadiasbeauty.blogspot.com/feeds/4961463296494906248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://acadiasbeauty.blogspot.com/2009/11/late-autumn-as-light-wanes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2067420062520071768/posts/default/4961463296494906248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2067420062520071768/posts/default/4961463296494906248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acadiasbeauty.blogspot.com/2009/11/late-autumn-as-light-wanes.html' title='Late Autumn as the light wanes'/><author><name>Leucothea</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15378459257799448281</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IW5jnlIz2yI/SwmrBLizEyI/AAAAAAAAAAY/n_8s75lq1E4/S220/015.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
