How is it possible that such a perfect evening could be? Traveling to Pretty Marsh on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island, I arrived to the dock to photograph the upcoming sunset. Upon arrival, a Loon was fishing next to the pier. While setting up to shoot […]
Along the banks of the beautiful Long Pond is a large section of land that is still owned by the Rockefeller family. The creators and collaborators for creating the expansive Carriage Road system throughout Acadia National Park. Last year hubby and I enjoyed a beautiful two-hour carriage ride […]
Following the evening’s rain the morning entered in softly with fog. Enveloping the landscape with its warm embrace, the fog gently misted the day. Flowing elegantly over Northeast harbor, the boats laid in wait for a fairer day. Although the fog didn’t keep the lobstermen from heading out […]

Driving through quaint true Americana towns today with American flags posted through their Main streets. Steeped in history, farming […]

Rushes raising elegantly from the cool waters covered by water lilies. Reaching towards the sky in search of light. Water lilies wait for middle summer to show their hidden treasures below. With tiny tadpoles that grow into a brilliantly green Southern Leopard Frogs. Sitting on the muddy banks […]
