I went back to central British Columbia this month, to photograph grizzlies again during the sockeye salmon run. My last visit was 2 years ago and I knew right away that I'd have to get back there. As expected, it was well worth it. Some of my faves:


Thanks for viewing!

YOWZA! Excellent photos. I would love to have you take me on a tour someday... you always capture amazing moments.

We headed out to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in South Portland, Maine this past Saturday. It was VERY cold, -12. I had to wait several hours for the Sea Smoke to provide an opening of the Lighthouse.




It was -2 tonight but after finding this barn, I had to shoot the show. I learned later that the main show was behind me, above Orion's belt but was still happy with the results.

This was a composite of a few shots of the shooting stars.

I got up @ 4AM this morning.... laid in bed questioning myself if it would be worth the 2 hour drive to Marshall Point Lighthouse or not. I told my self that if I didn't go, I would be disappointed and if I went and it didn't work out, I'd get to see a sunrise and know that it wasn't the right timing.


I'm pretty happy with the results, even without any texture in the sky from the lack of clouds- the colors make it pop for me as do the stars. I just enjoy God's natural creation- with a little bit of man-made scenery as well.

I enjoyed breakfast Port Clyde General Store.

This was shot during the Blue Hour, Marshall Point Lighthouse:

During our trip to the Rockies this autumn, the Sprague fire in Glacier National Park caused upper level smoke to be very noticeable even many miles away. Here is a snap from the car on the approach to the Park.

I put some landscape photos aside, to decide how to deal with the issue. This weekend I tried some processing, hoping to leave the right amount of smokiness. This was a view across Lake St. Mary.

Does this look comfortable or what?

From near the hotel I like to stay in before grabbing an early flight out of Boston.

Ok...I am lowering the bar a bit here.....but with another March Nor'easter, I grabbed a pic or two from different vantage points around my house.

This is my bird feeder. The Black Bears came out of hibernation a bit early this year. This is the third time the bear has bent the pole. I had reinforced it with 3/4" solid steel....at least this time it didn't snap:

I wonder if my battery power electric fence rig would keep them away. It is one thing to have a raccoon defeat the squirrel baffle - bear.... that is a bit different
