Good morning, this shot is from two years ago toda

Good morning, this shot is from two years ago today after a light dusting of snow. We don't have any snow yet this year, but I'm sure it will be here soon.
To me this shot has a "Summer and Fall are in the rearview mirror and Winter is coming" vibe. It has a nice blend of the seasons and radiates the changing of the time and season.
Have a great day!

📸 As always feel free to share, and prints available on my website! 🌞😊👏

Had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend – we spent it

Had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend - we spent it with family in CT and it just so happened that @guster was playing right down the road in Ridgefield at the @ridgefieldplayhouse . I had the opportunity to photograph them again (for the 7th time, but who's counting 😆!) and I still pinch myself after every show. It was such a good time and fun to introduce our family members to this awesome band. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the evening.

Thank you Guster for always putting on such an amazing show and I'm so appreciative to be able to capture some of the incredible moments of the evening. 😊👏

I took these shots of the Bailey Island Bridge, aka the Cribstone Bridge, back on the 12th. They almost didn't make the cut due to the lack of sky/cloud interest. But after letting them marinate in the computer for a bit I thought I would share and lookup a little history of this amazing bridge to also share. If you find it interesting it might be worth a quick google to learn more. Have a great day! 😊👏

"A shallow ledge extends between Bailey Island and Orr's Island, broken only by a narrow channel. Granite slabs from nearby Yarmouth and Pownal were laid on this ledge in a pattern similar to traditional log crib piers. The granite is sufficiently heavy to withstand wind and wave action. The open cribbing permits the strong tide to ebb and flow freely through the bridge.

Facts: - from ASCE dot org.
•The structure has a length of 1120 feet, not including the earth-filled approaches, and has a roadway width of 18 feet between curbs. A concrete tee beam spans 52 feet across the narrow and deep channel

•No mortar or cement was used to build the granite cribs. Due to the uneven shapes of the rough-cut stones, pine wedges were driven into the cracks between the stones a certain places to prevent rocking and shifting.

•The project was constructed over 2 years at a cost of $139,000.

•Bailey Island bridge is believed to be the only one of its type in the world.

According to local lore, Llewelyn Edwards, the bridge designer, originally got the idea of an open-crib design from a bridge in Scotland. However, the Scottish bridge was destroyed by enemy artillery in World War II."

Good morning, This young gull has all the moves! He was showing the others how to get more camera time! 😆😊👏
The more I do photography and the more I take pictures of some of our most common animals and birds, the more I fall in love and see the beauty of whats all around in plain sight. I've never thought they were ugly or anything like that, but it's easy to take for granted the common everyday things in our life. Maybe for me it's also part of being sight impaired. With my camera I can zoom in and crop to get the beautiful details up close that I can't see from afar. I guess the point is... take a look around and find the beauty in everyday life, and if you can't see it with your eyes try to see it with your mind.

have a great day if possible!

These ducks were fun to take pictures of as they swam or waded back and forth fishing for snacks or dinner I think. They kept their distance so I had to zoom and crop in pretty good to get these shots. From a quick Google search I think they are Red-breasted Mergansers?? Not 100% sure but that's my best guess. And the fourth picture is a common Loon. Have a great evening! 😊👏

Good morning 🌞
Here are some more shots from yesterday's sunset at Winslow Park. I'm probably most excited about shots one and three. The wind was blowing and trying to de-leaf the last of the leaves that were hanging on. I stood here for about an hour snapping away. Although I was getting some cool birds in flight, what I was really after was to catch one of the blowing oak leaves as they fell to the ground (in focus)...The final outcome might not be as cool as I thought it would be at the time, but in the end I'm supper happy with it. I love when I'm out taking pictures and I come up with an idea or challenge myself to get a certain shot. I usually don't know if I got it or not until I get home and load up the pictures. I get just as excited going through pictures when I get home as I do taking them. Sometimes though I need to take a break before I go through them. Every now and again I get home and load up the pictures I've taken and I'm like meehh... I want to feel the same feeling I felt looking at a picture as I did being there taking them. Usually after a day or two, or sometimes just a few hours, I can look at the pictures and have more realistic expectations.
Sunday morning rambles...
Enjoy your day! 😊👏
