Ferns and Flow....
I don't care how many times I go back to Sabattus River I always find something new to photograph. I actually found these ferns yesterday afternoon but the lighting was not good so I went back this morning, I knew they would be in the shade.
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.

Fantastic John!
That's a calendar shot! Lovely! I recognize the falls from other posts you have done from there, but the ferns are definitely the star of the photo!
That is definitely something you need to click on to make larger. It's a beautiful shot.
That is a brilliant 'Slow Shutter' shot John.
What makes this photo so special is that although that you have a long exposure, the ferns are sharp.
Fabulous photo, that really is a calendar shot.
Very very nice!
Beautiful picture and very nice blog :-)
That's beautiful.
Beautiful fern. Wow! I'm glad you pointed it out. I would have been so wrapped up in that waterfall I would have completely overlooked it. Beautiful!
Real nice John. Dunno how I missed this one.
Looks like you used a long esposure time to freeze the water like that.
Lovely photographs! Made me happy to see the nature captured so beautifully.
I especially loved the Ruby Throat humming bird and the chipmunk pics.
It amazes me how you manage to take pics in such low temperatures! I feel like hibernating during winter :-)
Its an amazing blog..
I just enjoyed a lot...
cheer..
