This seagull was sitting on the railing when I pulled over to take shot of the Minot’s Ledge Light. I think he was also enjoying the ocean view….

I was going to post a sequence of images of this shot as it started with just a single seagull, then two, three, four and I think ended…

Even this seagull looked like it was enjoying taking a walk on New Year’s day with the beautiful weather we had. Winter finally hit this weekend with bitter…

I really like how the depth of field blurred the ocean and made it a really nice blue background for this image. Plus, with the sky being a…

It looked to me as if this seagull really wanted her photo taken. I love how she’s looking right at me. No I don’t know if it’s a…

I mentioned we had beautiful weather on Sunday to ring in the New Year. By early afternoon it was in the low 50s! We have been very lucky…

Yesterday I had planned on staying inside all day. While I had gone to bed early on New Year’s Eve I was still tired from my week off…

This is my best shot of the day of the Snowy Owl. I cropped the image so it’s a little closer than I actually was with the camera….

When the MeetUp was over I asked Greg and John (the other leader) if the Snowy Owl would still be in the spot where we had left it….

Yesterday I attended a MeetUp with the Plymouth Photography Group. Only 12 people were allowed to sign up as we were going to be getting a tour with…

I love the look and feel of Milkweeds. I remember as a kid there use to be a bunch of Milkweeds near our house. We use to open…

About a week ago, on my way to work I spotted this magnificent hawk. I was very surprised to see it perched on this branch just above the…

How awesome is this turtle! As you can see, she’s a pretty good size. And, I just love the colors of her shell. I took the really close…

It was hard to get a good angle on this flower. There was a small fence in front of the pond and also a couple of people standing…

This seagull was pretty happy with the remains of someone’s dinner. I always love the reflection of objects in water. I like how the reflection of the cottage…

Not a flower today but a pretty nice looking pear.

Such vibrant colors on these flowers!

Some more flowers from the Bradford garden. Sorry, haven’t had time to write anything in the blog posts this week. Just enjoy the photos 🙂

Here are some pretty pink flowers from the garden at the Bradford house.

Here are a few of the very pretty flowers in the pond (see yesterday’s photo). I think the frog in the bottom photo was also admiring the petals…

There sure is a lot of wildlife in Maine. My brother is right on a brook that leads into a pond so there are lots of frogs hanging…

A good part of our day was spent checking in on these three babies to see how they were doing and if they were going to fly the…

Not sure if this flower was an early bloomer but I liked how it was the only one in full bloom with the other buds getting ready to…

I liked how there was just a sliver of pink peeking out from all this green.

I can’t think of anything to say other than the green caught my attention and I like the look of the needles.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s August! The summer is flying by and I’m not ready for it to be over so quickly. I was lucky enough to have…

When we first got to the beach the tide was coming in. My cousin found this starfish as the tide was going out. Since the starfish hadn’t gone…

We had a lot of rain the night before this shoot and you could tell it had done a lot of damage to the flowers. I was mostly…

I like how this flower looks like the petals are woven together. I loved the colors of this flower and how the yellow fades into the green.

I had to take quite a few shots of these stamins in order to get the focus the way I wanted it. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post…

This macro lens has a great depth of field. I love how the buds in the front can be in focus and the buds that are only an…

Last week I showed images from my photography Meetup group where our assignment was to shoot images focusing on negative space. The next Meetup I went to was…

I’m guessing this is negative space. I really liked the background color behind the flower and think it enhances the image.

This year I had a bunch of ‘use them or lose them’ vacation days that needed to be taken by the end of June. I decided to use…

I really liked the look of this flower. I took a few shots without the flash on and then thought I’d experiment with the on-camera flash. While the…

Last Wednesday, I went to a photography Meetup Group gathering in Plymouth. There were about 25 photographers and from all the comments people left on the group website…
