This September was a perfect month in Maine and the ferns turned yellow and the oaks turned yellow and red instead of the normal brown and the maples are iridescent this year. I am fortunate enough to have spent 6 days near and in
Acadia National Park while
Michael Chesley Johnson was teaching
plein air painting for the 8th time for
Acadia Workshop Center. He had a great group of 7 hard working students while I entertained myself taking photos!
