What a difference . . .

 . . . a day makes! A getaway to the southern Maine coast meant starting at its most famous landmark, Nubble Lighthouse. It was a classic fall day--crisp (OK, chilly) and beautiful. Quiet seas. Dreamy skies, though storm clouds were gathering in the west. In the late afternoon sun, the lighthouse seemed serene--and delightfully quaint. Next day: warmer, but huge winds, waves and driving rain. Intrepid as we are, we ventured out anyway. Nubble was completely different: dark, foreboding, under leaden skies. The waves were wild, and we were soaked within minutes.
