Silent Night . . . in Veteran's Park


We stumbled across a pleasant surprise in Old Orchard Beach, Maine last evening, when we drove by Veteran's Park, the band stand had been dressed for the season!  There were other lovely decorations too, I'll post about them later.  For now, please enjoy one of our favorite spots in Old Orchard.


Normally this park is buzzing with people, and in six months it will be buzzing again.  We love to sit in the bandstand, catch the sea breeze and people watch, you see EVERYTHING at the beach in the summer, not so much in the winter, most people cover up out of necessity to avoid frost bite!! LOL!!!

  12. How beautiful! And how fortunate you are to live near the sea. I've only seen the ocean in wintertime a couple times before, but there's something especially mesmerizing and invigorating about a winter beach.

  20. How pretty this bandstand is, all dressed up for the holidays! We had one on the plaza in the little town where I grew up and I always loved seeing it lit at Christmas time. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Sue
