Good evening! Here are a few more from my morning Good evening! Here are a few more from my morning at Reid State Park, with a NorEaster just south of us. The waves were really rolling in as the morning progressed. I think the seagulls had the best seats in the house, they were a lot braver than me. I like to get close but not that close. 🌊🐦

Enjoy! 😊👏

Good morning. I made an early trip to Reid State P Good morning. I made an early trip to Reid State Park this morning hoping to catch some of the bigger surf rolling in. The sunrise stayed mostly tucked behind the clouds, but there were just enough breaks to let some light through, and the ocean definitely put on a show. Here are a few from the morning. 🌊

Enjoy, and have a great day! 😊👏

Good morning! Here are a few more photos from a sh Good morning! Here are a few more photos from a short walk at Florida Lake here in Freeport on September 16th. Fall was just starting to make its way into the trees, with patches of red and orange showing up around the lake. I can only imagine how much the color has changed in just the past week!

I also wanted to share a little personal update since I haven't been posting as much lately. For those of you who are newer to my page, I live with several chronic illnesses, including cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, glaucoma, and too much more to list. Every once in a while that part of my life is going to make an appearance here too, because it affects my photography and how often I'm able to get out.

I've been pretty sick for the past couple of weeks, spent all day last Thursday at the hospital, and have been on some heavy duty antibiotics. I haven't been able to get out much lately, and one of the antibiotics also requires me to stay out of the sun, which adds another challenge. I'm heading in for a procedure today to hopefully get some more answers about what's going on.

I was already sick when I took these photos, but after being cooped up I really needed to get outside for a little while. So I took a short early morning walk at Florida Lake.

It's a little hard to complain after one of the best summers I've had in probably 12 years, both health-wise and with my photography. As we know, what goes up must come down! I had a really good run, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. I traveled to parts of Maine I'd only dreamed of visiting with my camera, saw some amazing places, and made a lot of great memories along the way.

For now, I'm taking things as they come and hoping to get back out there soon. Luckily, I took a LOT of photos this summer that I haven't shared yet! As I start feeling better, I'll share some more from the archives and keep things going until I can get back out there again.

Enjoy, and have a great day! 😊👏

Here is about two and a half hours of footage from Here is about two and a half hours of footage from my yard condensed down to 2.5 minutes. I had my camera set to take a picture every two seconds at 30 frames per second.
One of my favorite things about this time-lapse is seeing the different layers of clouds moving in different directions. This is a great visual example of directional wind shear, where winds at different altitudes move in different directions. Speeding everything up makes those separate layers much easier to see.
For the camera movement, I used a simple egg style timer, which gave me the first minute of motion. The rest is a simple pan from left to right for the final minute and a half.
I also paired it with some music to make it a little more enjoyable. 😊👏

Good morning! I was able to get out for a nice wal Good morning! I was able to get out for a nice walk at Florida Lake this morning. The fall colors are starting to show up, and as usual the trees around the water are turning first. The wetland edge has a different mix of trees and growing conditions, so they often start changing before the surrounding woods. What a beautiful morning! 🍂🌞

Enjoy, and have a great day! 😊👏

Good evening! These two photos are one of the thin Good evening! These two photos are one of the things I really love about being up and out for sunrise. The first was taken at 6:04am and the second at 6:08am. Just four minutes apart! 
It always fascinates me how quickly a sunrise can change. In the first photo most of the sky was still dark, with just a little light beginning to break through along the horizon. Four minutes later the clouds had completely lit up and the whole scene changed. And sometimes it happens even faster than that!
When the sky starts changing this quickly there’s such a rush trying to capture it while also watching it unfold right in front of you. I always make sure to stop for a moment, take it all in and appreciate just how incredible it is to witness and be part of. 🌞

Enjoy! 😊👏

Good morning! Here's a few more from Five Islands Good morning! Here's a few more from Five Islands in Georgetown from last weekend. These were all taken before sunrise, while the harbor was still quiet and the lights were still on around the wharf. Such a great little spot to walk around with the camera before the day gets started. 
It’s tough to put into words, but I love this time of day. It’s quiet, there’s hardly anyone around, and for a little while it feels like you have the whole place to yourself, and sometimes a few likeminded people. 🌞

Enjoy, and have a great day! 😊👏

I’ve been a little quieter here lately. Some of yo I’ve been a little quieter here lately. Some of you know that I deal with several chronic illnesses, and sometimes that means stretches when I’m not able to get out with the camera nearly as much. I had a pretty good stretch for most of the summer, which allowed me to get out and shoot quite a bit. The last couple of weeks haven’t been quite as good, so I haven’t been out nearly as much as I would like to. Fortunately, I have plenty of photos in the archives to share!

And speaking of photos from the archives, here’s a happy accident I came across. I was photographing sunrise at Old Orchard Beach and decided to put myself in the frame. I was trying for a self portrait with the sunrise behind me, but apparently I didn’t stay put long enough. 😆 Instead, I nearly disappeared from the photo altogether! Sometimes the mistakes are more interesting than what you were actually trying to do.

Enjoy, and have a great day! 😊👏

Tonight I went up to Hedgehog Mountain here in Fre Tonight I went up to Hedgehog Mountain here in Freeport to see if I could photograph the 9/11 tribute lights on Mount Washington. They were incredibly faint from this distance. I couldn’t see them without the camera, and I really had to push the settings to capture this. If you look closely, you can just make out Mount Washington along the horizon and the beams reaching into the night sky.

It was a challenging one to capture, but I’m glad I gave it a try. 🇺🇸

Enjoy! 😊👏

Maine Minute Episode: 86 For this Maine Minute Maine Minute Episode: 86 
 
For this Maine Minute (or two) we are at Five Islands in Georgetown, Maine. 9-6-26. 

Enjoy this couple of minutes as the sun is rising over the calm water on a beautiful summers morning.
I also paired it with some nice background music to add to the ambiance. 
 
I hope this minute brings you a little bit of peace and relaxation to start your day, end your night or continue your day. 
Either way I hope you have a great day. And as always make the best of it!

A few more from before sunrise this morning at Wol A few more from before sunrise this morning at Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park here in Freeport. These were taken between 5:37 and 5:56am, and the light just kept changing as sunrise got closer. And no shortage of mosquitoes yet! 😆 They’re hanging on to the end of summer. It’s always nice when the season changes and they finally go away. Soon enough! 🦟🌞

Enjoy! 😊👏
