The view from South Lubec Road in Lubec, Maine. The storm clouds from last night are finally heading out. Campobello Island (Canada) is visible across the Quoddy Narrows. This spot is just shy of the eastern most point in the United...

Two months ago, the wild blueberry barrens so prevalent in Downeast Maine, were seas of blue. Today they are crimson in the autumn light.

Suddenly, autumn is showing her colors. We had our first scrape-your-windows hard frost last week. On October 5th – can you believe it? Entirely too early for comfort. That snap of cold has triggered some changes. Here are a few autumn pics from around the...

I played hookey today and took Hannah and her friend “M” to the beach for the day. We went to Roque Bluffs and we were the only folks on the beach. I parked myself in my chair, listened to the surf and read while the girls played. Swimming was short lived....

After a meeting in Bar Harbor today I paused for a moment to snap a couple of pictures. This is the Margaret Todd, a four-masted windjammer heading out of the harbor for a sail. How fortunate we are to live in such a beautiful area!

I took a wrong turn today. What I thought would lead to a shortcut turned out to be anything but that. However, the sights along the way made the detour worthwhile. I didn’t see any busy beavers around this dam today. A very pastoral scene tucked along the coast...

The back road to Machias takes you through Whitneyville, Maine where this little red schoolhouse sits up on the rise. There’s something very charming about this school built in 1868 that now serves as the town’s library. In my mind’s eye I can see...

This morning, cruising out of town just before dawn we caught this picture of the “super moon” over the Narraguagus River in Milbridge in a “drive by shooting.”

We took advantage of another round of snow overnight and went for a sledding outing this morning. Beautiful, fresh, unblemished, knee deep snow turned out to not be great sledding snow. Instead we enjoyed the solitude of a winter’s walk. Click the thumbnails...

The first day of school for 2011. Yipee! The sky had such a beautiful quality to it this morning. Calm, peaceful, and gentle. My picture does not do it justice.

I spent a lovely morning today with my friend, Carol. She wanted to photograph snowy fences in her town of Columbia Falls for her blog. So we tooled around town in search of snowy fences. Two nutty women cruising up and down the streets, making middle of the road...

Today was an idyllic autumn day – puffy white clouds, crisp, blustery wind, and not a drop of rain in sight. We celebrated the season with a trip to Treworgy Orchards in Levant, Maine, just Northwest of Bangor. This is a destination farm. There’s the...

We spent the afternoon at a friend’s home for a cookout. I love Maine cookouts. Forget the burgers and dogs. We had lobster. Yum. I took advantage of the great location on the Narraguagus River to play with my new camera. Here are the results. The new camera...

This morning Hannah and I joined a group from the Downeast Coastal Conservancy for a hike to the top of Pigeon Hill in Steuben (about 15-20 minutes from our house). The entire hike was a little more than a mile. After the first five minutes, the trail incline...
