A view of Narraguagus Bay this morning where the sea smoke and the clouds converged.

It was very cold this morning. The thermometer read -5 degrees as I headed out the door. I wonder if the extreme temperature somehow contributed to the remarkable sunrise. It seemed as if every mile I pulled over to the side of the road to snap pictures – from...

On this first day of 2015, we recognized the holiday with an outing to Corea Heath. In deference to Hannah, our walking wounded, we walked a short trail bordered by the National Wildlife Refuge and Grand Marsh. Given the unpredictable weather we experienced this last...

Autumn colors shining bright on a dreary day. Farewell September!

We enjoyed a shiny autumn afternoon strolling through Treworgy Orchard today. The kids explored the giant corn maze while Paul and I strolled through the pumpkin patch taking notes for next year. I want some of of these. And some of these. It looks like...

For me, the Common Ground Fair is the pinnacle of summer. I mark the day on my calender and take the day off of work to explore this celebration of rural living. The sights – the flowers, the vegetables, the crafts, the livestock are all eye-candy. Is there...

Along the banks of the Narraguagus River, I found this impressive great egret wading in the marsh. On this chilly Maine September day, I have to wonder if he’s lost his way.

I’m feeling a bit panicky that summer has passed me by before I had a chance to enjoy it. After a morning of chores that included the exciting jobs of duck coop clean out and wood cutting, we abandoned thoughts of the impending winter and escaped to walk the...

It was a beautiful evening to celebrate the end of summer at the Blue Hill Fair. The weather was cool and crisp – perfect for enjoying blooming onions, funnel cakes and fair rides. Although Hannah tells me it’s not smart to mix fried foods with fair...

August’s last Monday morning began in a cloak of fog yielding to a quintessential summer day.

Klondike Mountain. The name leads you to think of something monumental and intimidating. We discovered that Maine’s Klondike Mountain is neither of those things. Today, as part of my “homecation” getaway, the three of us visited this new hiking trail...

Last night, we were half-way through a movie when I remembered the full moon was on the rise. I bailed on the movie and headed down the road to clear the trees so I’d have a good view. It was a pretty sight. Clouds scattered the skyline playing hide and seek...

Thunder clouds rolling over the blueberry barrens snapped out the car window with my iPhone. The heavens opened up moments later as I hightailed it home.

The last few days here have been “pea soup” foggy – clouds so low and thick that you could feel them as you walk through. While traveling along the blueberry barrens I was struck by the stark beauty of this cedar waxwing’s silhouette as he...

Sunday afternoon I dragged Paul along to a friend’s home to tour her vegetable garden. As I sit here going through my photos, there’s barely a vegetable to be found. Clearly I was taken with the flowers she has growing amongst the veggie beds.

On the drive home from Hannah’s summer basketball league, much to her dismay, I pulled over when I spotted this great blue heron in the Harrington River. The ear buds went in and she settled in for what she expected would be a long wait and grumbled, “You...

This young doe was “bagged” on the bluffs in Eastport this morning. She didn’t seem to mind as I pulled the car to a stop and rolled down the window for a quick photo shoot.

While everyone else went to the movies tonight, I tooled around looking at the moon. Yeah, I know. I’m a geek.
