Spring has really sprung in Maine...especially in Southern Maine... more specifically in Kennebunkport, Maine... where we were on a spectacular sunny day this weekend. You may remember when I captured Kennebunk in the winter on a trip down to this quaint coastal town, and if not, go take a peek because now it looks so amazingly different! These homes appear like something out of a fairytale in winter, but now I'll give you a glimpse of this idyllic place as it reawakens for Spring!




We decided to just meander down the sidewalk in order to experience flowering blossoms and bulbs more up-close and personally...as they say. We chanced upon this picket fenced enclosed front yard bedecked in yellow daffodils and pink blossoms...











When we turned the corner, we discovered at the back of this house a cute little  treehouse perched in the back yard! I love how they trimmed the door in birch limbs!




Then tucked behind the old Kennebunk train depot was this intriguing place...named 'Old House Parts Co.' boasting all sorts of salvaged and architectural treasures....which I could've easily gotten lost in for hours!





Across the street was this beautifully renovated gambrel-roofed farmhouse. The front door above is a very traditional New England style...and also one of my very favorites. With sprigs of bright yellow forsythia blossoms, it's bursting with "Hello Springtime!"








From here we trekked on to the beach....but I'll save that part for tomorrow! : D

Lovely photos. I especially like the one of your precious one reaching up the weathered wood fence for the blossoms. That one's worthy of a frame and an honored place on the wall.

I miss spring. I'm glad you have the opportunity to enjoy it.

How very, very exciting to get your news of someone who's blog style you enjoy, & offers her area the opportunity to enjoy yours----And from FRANCE, yet Your heart must have jumped to your throat! We discovered your news first thing this AM--& Dad got off our prompt E-mail. But it's nearly bed time before I"M getting time to enjoy both blogs! Did Laundry (you know about that stuff) & had Mary H. & our Cambodian friend here at 4:30- & were here till about 8--LONG recording session. But Albert was sharing his experience of the Lord finally making himself known (CLEARLY)/(DRAMATICALLY)/(REPEATEDLY). In-spirational experience.

Love those Kennebunkport houses---& the beach doesen't look as forboding as when Iced in during winter. Your shots were great--of course, our favorite was a small one reaching for pink blossoms in her blossomed dress!
