I woke up yesterday feeling perky. Yes, perky. The sun was shining through my skylight and I could see colorful leaves blowing by. I brewed some delicious organic, fair trade breakfast blend and spiced it up with some french vanilla creamer - and then I sipped away while blogging. Blogging felt great! I haven't been spending too much time on posts lately and it felt wonderful to finish my draft box lurker. I decided that it would be a great day to head downtown and snap some pictures. I didn't take quite as many photos as I hoped - but I did manage my trademark shot - looking up at buildings with the sun behind them :)

The Occupy Maine-r's were out. Let me be clear, I'm not a supporter of the movement however; the sun was shining and it was just too nice of a day to be angry. So I played paparazzi and took some photos of their base camp.

I had a delicious falafel on a park bench and I walked around with a warm cup of chai in my hands.

Now if tooling around Portland taking pictures, snacking and drinking cozy drinks isn't occuyping Maine then what is it?
