“In early June, I took a long weekend off from work to escape the noise and go camping with my sister and her boyfriend. We ended up in the West Forks area, where we spent the majority of Saturday afternoon kayaking. The water was a little choppy, but I was feeling gutsy and brought my camera with me to document the adventure. Among the many photographs I took, I captured this serene moment that I like to call ‘Quintessential Maine.’“ Photo and words by madelinerheaume.⁠ ⁠ Tag themainemag or #themainemag on your posts for a chance to be featured!⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ #themainemag #loveme #westforks #westernmaine #kayaking #kayakmaine #summerinmaine
