Autumn Flow....
Normally at this time of year the Sabattus River is at a real low flow rate. With all the rain we've had this summer and fall the level is almost the same ast it would be in the spring.
That is a good flow there John. Here, our coastal area has had very bad flooding while inland there has not been a drop of rain sofar. I really hope it starts soon as the animals are already suffering.
Thanks for visiting me, too John. I hope my nature poetry complements your beautiful pictures. I have been to Maine once, a few years ago, that part of the US is lovely. Call again. Our rivers here in UK are also very full for the time of 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.

I wish I could do the flowing water like that -
The silver lining after the lousy summer!

We just returned from a week of "leaf peeping" in New England. Your beautiful photos helped inspire the trip.

This is an inspiring photo. I'm going to have to get near fresh water Saturday.

Another beautiful shot of those golden leaves and that wonderful stream!
The rushing river inautumn reminds us of the increasing speed of life racing by as we grow older.
