Hosta Color, Texture and Curves


In cleaning up the garden, I clipped some of the late hosta leaves before they deteriorated on the plant and then left them in a bushel basket in the shed before recycling into compost. The leaves turned a deep gold and dried up with all this wonderful texture. Click to enlarge.

Golden Grass

The marsh keeps calling; I can't break out of the almost daily rut of photographing the marsh grasses. Perhaps it's because my days at the coast are numbered now and soon it will all be part of my past. But still....every day it has a different look. Click image for a larger view.

Natural Marbling


This is an image of boat oil swirling around on the surface of the water in the shallows of the harbor. The lighting cast a turquoise iridescence on the greenish water to produce this striking design. Click to enlarge.

The Bleak Season is Sneaking In

Trees make better photography subjects when they are naked. They contrast beautifully with either gray skies or blue skies. Each kind of tree has a characteristic overall shape and distinctive branching pattern. Click on the image for an enlarged view.

Juvenile Sanderlings

This is the time of year that most of the shore birds rapidly exit New England for warmer habitats. But this small flock of sanderlings is still happily snatching periwinkles from the frigid waters. Click for a larger image.

Chance Encounter #2

I arrived at the fishing pier early Sunday morning to snap some fog photos. Just as I removed the lens cap, a great blue heron approached (completely oblivious to me) and began fishing for breakfast. I captured this series. The images are not totally clear due to mist and dense fog. Click on each for an enlargement.
