The cloudless night sky and low light pollution of northern New Hampshire make for excellent star gazing. This shot was taken from a campground on the shores of Conway Lake in New Hampshire. The bright lights to the lower right are from a neighboring campfire. A satellite rolls across the sky as well.

Leafy Pool

On our way to the Maine coast for vacation this past week, we stopped by a beaver pond along the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This pool attracted my eye for the multiple levels of interest within it: the leaves floating on top, the rocks on the bottom, and the reflection of the sky and trees.

I spend a lot of time doing macro photography. Consequently, I’m often wandering through the woods and fields with my eyes on the ground seeking out the small and hidden. Sometimes it’s good to look up. This shot was taken right above where I took yesterday’s shot of the Sisyphian mushroom.

Reflections on the Sky

The humid, rainy weather that we’ve been “enjoying” for the past three weeks has finally broken. We revel in the clear, cool air that is much more typical of Vermont summers. Here, fair weather cumulus clouds reflect in a weathered window of an outbuilding behind the Greensboro Library where my duo, the Swing Peepers, performed yesterday afternoon.
