Visiting Lemon Stream in Franklin County, Maine

August 20, 2019 3 Comments

We made plans for our annual blackberry picking outing, but it seems Mother Nature had other plans for us. When we arrived at our usual berry picking spot, we had discovered many of the blackberries were still green and not ready picking. Usually, by mid-August, this is primetime for berry picking. I’m not sure why, but this delay could be due to the cold and rainy spring we had experienced this year. I suppose we will have to wait a couple of more weeks to fill our “berry coffers” and on the plus side, we may be picking berries well into October. We then had a decision to make, either turn around and go back home or see what other kinds of trouble we could get into for the day.

We had our cameras with us, of course, and we decided to visit Lemon Stream, one of the local and natural highlights of the area. Although I had my camera, unfortunately, I didn’t have my lens filters or tripod. I like to have this equipment with me for planned photography sessions for photographing flowing water. I thought I was taking photographs of berries after all. We will definitely have to come back to the area in the near future. A perfect time will be when the leaves change this autumn. I believe with the nice lighting and the contrast of the autumn colors, this spot will photograph beautifully along with the hue of yellow of the water. While viewing the photographs below, you will notice this hue of yellow to the water. Perhaps, this is how the stream acquired its name. What do you think?

    This looks so beautiful! We live in Somerset County so we could visit, but our days of hiking and long walks are over. How far would we have to walk to get to the area you’ve photographed? Is it accessible from the road? A brief stroll (I hope)? Anyway, lovely and evocative pictures as always.

      Hello Suzanne, Thank you for your very kind words. Yes, to get to the stream, it is a very short walk. This area of the stream is located at the end of Rand Road in Industry. There is a parking area located to the right of the entrance to the Sat Manav Yoga Ashram. Once you are in the parking area, you will see the entrance to the short trail that leads to the stream on your right. Just be careful while walking on the rocks! If you have any more questions, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy your stroll.
