We celebrated the first day of autumn with a visit to the Common Ground Fair put on by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. We waffled about going because of the weather forecast. Was it going to rain? How much would it rain? Thunderstorms? Three...

Today was beautiful – almost autumn like – cool temperatures with big puffy clouds. Hannah and I made our annual hike to the top of Pigeon Hill. The exercise drove home the point how little exercise I’ve had lately and how out of shape I am! We were...

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...

After much anticipation, my new camera arrived yesterday. A Kodak Z981. Tonight I parked myself on the porch played with it a bit. There’s definitely a learning curve, but it’s lots of fun. Here are a few of the pics I took from the porch. I took the...

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...

I spent a thoroughly enjoyable half hour this afternoon photographing the butterflies enjoying my chive flowers. The flowers are a bit passed their prime, but that didn’t seem to bother this Red Admiral or Vanessa atalanta.
