Scenes from a bed & breakfast

I'm back from a very COLD but lovely weekend stay in Portland, Maine. Between slipping and sliding on the thick ice that still covers the sidewalks there, I shot seven rolls of 120 film, ate more lobsters and seafood than I can count, saw more fluffy dogs than I've ever seen in one place, found the ultimate idyllic tree + bench scene, popped in to the Portland Museum of Art with barely an hour before closing but caught a great photography exhibit, finally found some passable coffee and had to chuck it before going to the museum, and stayed at the cutest little bed & breakfast with the friendliest innkeeper ever.

Above: a left over breakfast area.

Below: the main living room at the inn with great light and fresh flowers.

I'll have a ton more pictures to come - literally the first thing I did after we dropped off the rental car was go to the film lab before they closed for the night. I've got my priorities down. I also am quite backed up from things I want to blog from last week, but I certainly can't complain about having too much content!
