A cool morning at Crescent Beach State Park, Cape Elizabeth Maine

We planned on heading to the beach the night before, a little unsure of which one to go to but knowing we were going somewhere. The forecast was partly cloudy with a little fog in the morning. I didn't realize the partly cloudy meant ALL clouds and the 'morning' meant until noon. Regardless, we were at Crescent before 10:30 and well - this is what we got. After about an hour, I checked my phone and saw things were breaking up around the Sebago area so we packed up and headed that way. At Crescent, it was windy, foggy to the point of misting and well - downright cold.

As always though, it was still beautiful.
