Fall foliage in Maine is gorgeous. Tourists flock to our state for leaf peeping throughout the season, but for Mainers, fall is a little different through our eyes. Maine's fall beauty extends beyond the orange and red leaves.

The #FallinMaine hashtag on Instagram boasts an impressive amount of foliage photos. Both professional and amateur photographers capture the beauty of one of Maine's most well known seasonal landscapes. Hidden among the red and orange trees though, is a small but beautiful assortment of photos that show a different side of Maine's fall beauty. From cozy fires to curious puppies and even off-season beach adventures showcase Fall in Maine from the camera lenses of locals.

Cozy Lounging Near the Fire Place

No one knows the coziness of wool socks near a fire place quite like a Mainer does.

Weather Worn Barns

I love the look of weathered shakes on an old barn. To me, the history and the aesthetic of this barn rivals the beauty of any colorful foliage landscape.

Puppies Exploring Open Fields

Technically the photo does have some trees in it, but they're not bright orange and red. This pup loves the crisp fall air.

Gray Light at the Beach

There's something so special about going to the beach in the fall and early winter. The ocean feels different. I love this shot of the dog in the distance.

Cool Walks to the Light House

Maine's iconic lighthouses are even more beautiful in the fall when the quality of light shifts.

The Cloud Covered Waterfront

The cool blues and creamy grays in this photo make me want to take a sail boat into Casco Bay and admire my favorite Maine city from afar.

Slippers for Max Coziness

Bonus cozy points if you pair your furry suede slippers with wool socks.

Stunning Light Over the Lake

Lakes aren't just for summer activities.

Bean Boots at the Beach

There are no rules when it comes to Bean Boots. Wear yours to the beach in the fall.

Winter is Coming

Please, weather gods, let us get through Halloween without so much as a flurry.
