Don't know if I was thinking of storing these images away for Winter, but glad I did. Just looking at them I can smell the green and the earth. It will all be back in 5-6 months. Can't wait.
Back in the late Fall I suddenly got the urge to take a walk through the garden. The 'harvest' was over on our small plots...beans long gone, squash in, and just some hearty tomatoes still hanging on the vine.

I wrote a bit about this summer's shoot at the Classic Yacht Regatta in Newport. We used to live there, and last time I simply walked down the hill to board the boat and go shooting. This time it involved a two overnight trip from Maine, but still worth every minute. Sailors and Mainers tend to reminisce of summers gone by over the long winter. Shortest day coming up on Saturday, and then the slow climb to daylight. Enjoy. It was practically dark out the other evening as I drove along the harbor. Cold, crisp air, and winter sky. Wonderful.
Had a great time celebrating Halloween in a coastal Maine village yesterday. The rainy weather and low clouds only added to the spooky atmosphere. The community here really comes out for holidays, especially those centered around children. How nice to meet so many kind and interesting neighbors.
So, forgive this please. I'm rebooting my social media presence, and this is mainly a test.
Fall is in full swing here. Our generator failed on start-up last storm, and we were without for four days. The new unit goes in on Tuesday, which is great news. The kitties are having a great time with Fall hunting, the boy thrives, and a trip to the Grands is planned for mid-November. :) Traipsing amongst the rocks at Marshall Point, and came across this character. What a gift. His name is Clyde, and he was the sweetest man. Fun evening. Never know who you're going to meet. :)
This 12 frame composition was a serendipitous image prompted by my young son.
We'd been out to a waterfront restaurant which was about to close for the season. On the short drive home he said 'can we go by the lighthouse?' 'Of course', I said, and this image is the result of that five minute turn to the right. Ah, the little detours in life that make all the difference! So sorry to hear of Jessye Norman's passing. I had the great honor of photographing her at a DC event in 2011.
What a wonderful presence. She will be missed. Late summer and early fall are fair time here in the States. The harvest is coming in, animals are trained and groomed, and a summer's worth of hand crafts are on display.
I love shooting at fairs in a 'street photography' style, but usually in the late afternoon and evening...not only for the more interesting angle of the light, and all the color temperatures, but also in order to be a bit less conspicuous. However, we chose to take the boy to his first fair at mid-day. I think the new camera and tiny kit zoom lens handled the bright noon sun quite well.
