Rain Barrel Abstract...
I tipped over my rain barrel the other day and it was half frozen, I thought the patterns in the ice made for an interesting abstract so I had to take some photos.
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.

Oh course you had to take some photos! Aren't we blessed that you always take some photos? Cool abstract!
Cool John! Now if we could get Lake Ontario to freeze like that we wouldn't have this horrible lake effect snow!!! We need more ICE!!!
I like the abstraction. It's a great study in grey tones.
