I am not always a morning person. And I am definitely not always a wake up before sunrise person. Especially in the summer when the days are longer and the sun rises earlier in the morning. But my job has gotten me used to getting up early for the morning commute often getting to see the sun rise on my job. And for a while I was in the habit of getting… Read More

In 2009 my wife and I visited Acadia National Park in Maine for the first time. This is probably my favorite vacation we have ever been on. This trip introduced us to so much natural wonders and scenic views like nothing we have ever seen before. As someone who mostly drives to vacation destinations I think it says a lot when you fall in love with a place so much that you… Read More

Acadia National Park is one of my favorite places to visit. There is so much to see and do there. I don’t often travel to the same place multiple times, because I like to explore as much brand new scenery and have as many brand new experiences as I can. But there is just something about Acadia National Park that draws me back. Part of what draws me to Acadia National Park… Read More

I am not always an early morning person. Especially when I am away from home. But on this trip at Acadia National Park we were camping right near the coast. I knew that there was easy access to this beautiful scenery with just a short walk. I would not have to get up too extra early to walk down and enjoy the sunrise. The sunset photography was within my grasp. I made… Read More

On my trips to Acadia National Park one of the most popular places for people to visit has been Thunder Hole. This beautiful landscape draws crowds of people. In addition to the landscape itself being beautiful if the tides are crashing on the shore just right it causes I loud booming noise ion that location, thus the name Thunder Hole. I have not yet been fortunate enough to experience the booming of… Read More

Acadia National Park in Maine has been one of my favorite places to visit over the years. There are so many beautiful places to explore in this park. Many of the sights are tourist attractions that are visited by large numbers of people. Those spots are great. But one of my favorite places in the park is a small little beachfront where I have seldom seen many people. Little Hunters Beach is… Read More

I like capturing movement in long exposures. Usually that takes the form of water in landscapes. Often its waterfalls. In this photo the ocean is moving along the coast of the beach. Along the edge of the sand the photo shows the soft white that is the motion of the waves crashing on the shore. Through the long exposure of 30 seconds the waves on the shore and across the body of… Read More

Always fun to explore scenic areas of Maine. There is so much going on in this photo. Maybe too much. Green trees and the lighthouse in one corner. Blue skies and ocean opposing that. And Rocky landscape across the rest. One aspect that I really think is cool in this photo is the people exploring the landscape. The photo features three people and they are all standing looking out over the landscape… Read More

I love the look of this almost completely white tiny little butterfly contrasted against a green leaf. This is also a fairly unique photo for me at least in a certain aspect. I was able to create this photo using a 60mm macro lens. That means that I had to get really up close to this little butterfly to make it appear this large in the frame. Most of my butterfly photos… Read More

There are a wide variety of gull species throughout the world. It is always cool to see what could be called the most impressive species of gull. The Great Black-Backed Gull is the largest gull in the world. I have been fortunate enough to see Great Black-Backed Gulls from time to time. And I have seen Great Black-Backed Gulls in different locations. It is even more enjoyable to see an impressive bird… Read More
