Dragonfly....

This is just a leftover photo from the summer.

Castine Harbor...

Another photo I took with one of my point and shoots; this is Castine Harbor at sunrise, I was on a kayaking trip.

Goldenrod Close up....

I took this photo in my backyard on Sunday and I don't know what kind of bug that is. I didn't feel like looking it up, I'm sure someone out there knows what it is.

Attack of the Killer Spider...

I took this photo with my very first digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 950.

New England Aster.....

Well it happened, last night we had our first frost; I'm glad I covered up my tomato plants. It won't be long now and my days of photographing flowers will be over for the season, the next big event will be taking pictures of the colored leaves, the leaf display is supposed to be nice this year because of the weather we've been having. I took the above photo the other day and I like the way the pink looks against the out of focus goldenrod. The asters are everywhere right now; I love driving around and seeing the bright pinks and purples on the roadside, it's quite striking.

Tomato Scourge....

A few weeks back I noticed something was eating my tomatoes and the leaves on some of the plants were starting to disappear. My neice was visiting this past weekend and raiding the cherry tomatoes when she found this guy. Turned out I had a bunch of them on the plants; they camouflage well. I'm surprised I didn't see them sooner because they are huge. The eye ball patterns on the side are pretty interesting so I had to take some photographs. Now I just hope I got rid of them all so I can enjoy my tomatoes before the first frost hits, which could be any day now.

Mom's Cosmos...

I took this photo in my mothers garden the other day.

Fireweed...

Fireweed usually grows in a cluster at the top of a spike but it's late in the season so most of the flowers have gone to seed and there were only blossoms here and there. I wish I would've found these sooner because there was quite a group of plants, the mass of pink would've made a nice photograph.

Jewelweed...

I took this picture in the backyard on Saturday. Eventually this blossom will form a seed pod that when touched will explode and scatter the seeds.

Another Preview.....

I've been busy with my addition project so I haven't really had time to take any new photos so I'm going retro. I took this photo in the late 80's or early 90's and of course it was shot on film.

Morning Glory...

I grew this morning glory a few years ago. The vines growing against my deck looked pretty nice.

Fall Preview....

The other day I noticed a few trees changing color so today I'm posting a preview of what's soon to come. This photo is from a few years ago; hopefully I'll get some good autumn shots to post this year. This spot is also only a few feet away from where the crayfish crawled out of the water in the photo I posted yesterday.

Another Cray.....

I was at the river enjoying the sunshine when all of a sudden this crayfish crawled out of the water and walked across the rock to go into another pool. That was the first time I ever saw that behavior. At least with this one there was water around unlike the crayfish from earlier this summer that I found walking in the middle of the road.

Pink Waterlilies....

These waterlilies are right next to the road in a small pond in Harpswell.

Mass of Yellow...

This will be the only post for me this week, I plan on taking a break. I have a big addition project going on so I don't have time to take any new photos, I'll be back next week.
