Sunday’s Hidden Treasure
From late October through most of November, the most gorgeous golden light passes through the woods on the side of the road to my house. So far this is the best I’ve done to capture it. Taken back in 2008, only a few months after I bought my first camera, this is also my first attempt at HDR, not half bad if I do say so myself.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Free Spirit.
Free.
A soon as I read the theme for this week I knew which photo I was going to use. This red tail hawk was a most wonderful and patient subject. He / she posed for me for almost an hour, then as if we could read each others minds, as I was finishing up with my last photos, it took flight.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment
Fleeting.
Defined as passing swiftly. That often describes the scene before me captured in many of my photographs. Be it the fleeting instance of the perfect light, or the interaction of wildlife, there but gone in an instant.

In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
NOTE. I’m off to Acadia National Park until mid week. Any and all comments will be replied to when I return.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Together
Together, a family in the woods.
(Yes, I have shared this one before, but if the image fits, I’m going with it 
)
Together, a parent was never too far away.
Together, an “ode” to love.
(true damselfly and dragonfly fans will get it 
)
Weekly Photo Challenge: Peaceful
Peaceful.
Is a cascading stream in the New Hampshire forest.
Watching the sun peak over the horizon as ghostly waves caress the cobbled granite shore.
A mother and her young.
