Never Ending Winter.....
Here's a shot I took a few years ago in northern Maine on a new years day. I like to get my new year off to a good start by taking photographs. This picture also appeared in a calendar the following year.
My books are hot off the presses at Blurb! Take a sneak peek and place your order if you're so inclined by clicking on the cover photo above. An eBook version for download to your iPad or iPhone is now available in the iTunes store.
I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Beautiful! Almost makes me like snow (only almost at the moment when I desperately crave spring)Well deserving of being a calendar shot!
Amazing!
I miss the snow, so it is nice to find pics like this :D
Wow! Nice shot! Don't you just love how you captured the little "sun star"? I know you're tired of snow, but this is really stunning.
Beautiful picture! It looks a whole lot like life outside my window right now.
By the way, I've added your blog to my list of favorites. Please let me know if you'd rather I didn't!
A very beautiful photo!
