Reid State Park is located in Georgetown, Maine. As well as rocky coastline, the park has sandy beaches, salt marshes, and fir/spruce forests. Many come for the birdwatching. This image is taken from Griffith Head looking toward Outer Head, which is a protected tern sanctuary. Across Sheepscot Bay is Southport where the naturalist writer Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring.

Happy Thanksgiving to Us . . .
This is not a picture of an ice cream cone, but our garden. From Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning, another snow storm delivered about 10″ of snow—the pot is about 24″ in diameter at the top. Both Naomi and I enjoy the peace a snow-bound forest can have after a storm. Having your snowblower break while clearing your driveway, however, can disrupt that peace.

Kennebec Land Trust 25th Anniversary Exhibition
The Kennebec Land Trust is celebrating their 25th anniversary with an exhibition at the Harlow Gallery in Hallowell, Maine. I was honored to have one of my images selected for the show. Many of the Kennebec Land Trust properties offer recreational trails for the public. My submission was taken at the Small-Burnham Conservation Area in Litchfield, Maine. The exhibition runs until November 1st. Click on the images for a larger view.
A Year in Color, a Year of Color

The Islands of Maine
Maine is famous for its coast. Just south of Brunswick is a series of islands—Sebascodegan Island, Orrs Island, and Bailey Island—that take you out into the Gulf of Maine at the edge of Casco Bay. Fishing communities can be found around Orrs Island and Bailey Island, surrounded by the vacation homes. With the winter lingering into April, these islands feel deserted.

Daylight Savings
On Sunday, we went through the annual ritual of turning the clocks forward one hour for daylight savings time. The sun now sets at 6:40 in the evening. Naomi and I went out to Pemaquid Point to enjoy this extra hour.
With the sun above the horizon, the sky was a brilliant blue and the ocean a deeper shade of the same color. As the sun reached the horizon, the familiar fiery red scorched the edge of the sky. But there is a magical time for color when the sun moves behind the horizon and vivid hues turn to delicate pastels. Click on the image for a larger view.
