First beach day.

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Birch Point State Park, first beach day.

Mere days ago, the temperature rose and the sun shone.

Birch Point State Park, first beach day.

And the mist hovered.

Birch Point State Park, first beach day.

The perfect combination of elements for trying out new beach gear.

And making new footprints in this year’s sand. Yes, we do have sand in Maine.

Black and white and red all over.

Winter roof in Camden, Maine.

Winter landscapes are black and white and tones of grey.

Camden stack.

So that red really pops whenever you see it.

And is so appealing in snowy areas like Scandinavia and New England.

Twilight of the seasons.

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Moonrise, twigs, Maine.

Days are shorter, nights are longer. We’re entering the nighttime of the year.

Moonrise, twigs, Maine.

In our silhouetted landscape, moonrises are spectacular. (This is the Breaver, or Frost, or Snow Moon that occurs in November.)

Moonrise, twigs, Maine.

The heavy moon is huge when it first emerges. Really huge.

As it rises, it becomes smaller in proportion to the horizon.

Moonrise, twigs, Maine.

Just like us.

Sunset silhouettes.

Pink and blue sky, naked tree, fall in Maine.

It’s late fall. We’ve lost all the blazing reds, oranges and yellows of the leaves.

Blazing sunset, naked tree, fall in Maine.

But we see more of the blazing pink sunsets as the naked trees brace themselves for winter.
