Thanx for looking. I put in Secret Spot because I'd made a fuss about keeping
it a secret. The sky was totally crapped out, but I plan on being there for
better light and doing much as you suggest.

Hum. There's so much yellow up there now with all the new green, it didn't
occur to me that it might be missing there. I wonder if I hit the wrong slider.
<g> I'll give that a go and see what happens.

That's Bar Harbor down there. I thought the fog was kinda neat, but I don't
think it's a shot I would try to market.

Again, thanx for looking and taking the time to comment. I like the trail
shots, but I sucked a little blue out of them because everything was so wet.
Nasty weather does present its challenges. Most of the "real photographer"
stuff I see out of Acadia is dusk or dawn, with a lot of dark stuff and glowing
skies and water. It's good mood stuff, but not much for real detail.
Fortunately, I have a place to stay up there now that doesn't cost an arm and a
leg, so I can spend some time trying to shoot my idea of what Acadia
photography ought to be. <g>
