 Wishing I was back in Acadia National Park


 

This photo is very representative of the many, many years I've traveled to Maine and to Acadia National Park, specifically. It is my happy place. There is almost nowhere I'd rather be than there. This summer scene brings back memories of the land, the fresh air, the fog, the sea, the ponds, lakes and streams. My son got engaged there!  I've been there in every season but winter.  Ah, therein lies the problem -  winter. Winters are brutal and I have a spouse who does not care for the extra cold and snow and I love her more than Acadia - so we stay here and visit often....sigh

Friday: Forms

This photo was pulled from my archives from some 15+ years ago. It is a shot I make in the Philadelphia area at a colonial-era church. On a whim, I juxtaposed a grave marker with the church steeple. Later I changed it to black and white. I thought it came out well and (now) makes the category "form" quite well.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
