Pelican Cove, ME
During our early September stay in Maine Cheryl and I visited the quaint coastal town of Ogunquit, (pop. approx. 1600), which is home to Perkins Cove. This was just a quick drive from York Maine where our hotel was. We walked around Perkins Cove specifically as this cove was surrounded by water on three sides and was a small, quaint little paradise. It was full of unique boutiques, locally made merchandise and a couple of nice restaurants. Not to mention all the boating. It had the feel of Rockport MA’s artist community but was considerably smaller. If you ever decide to go the best parking is on the left just…

Boathouse in York ME
While driving around scoping out potential shots we drove by this old boathouse and immediately knew it had shot potential. We then got up early one of the mornings, during our stay at York ME, and headed over. Of course, the buoy’s are what makes it so eye catching. We were fortunate to get there before the workers or boaters arrived and had the place to ourselves. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.3MP, full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105mm F4 lens @ 24mm. 1/500th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture priority

It’s fall at the castle.
I set up my tripod on the sidewalk at the south end of Hubbard Park’s pond aimed at the Castle waiting for the light. In short time it lit portions of the foliage beneath the Castle causing their beauty to speak to you. The shutter was snapped and yes I was lucky enough to catch that hawk circling the castle he was not added in later. Walter Hubbard, a local business magnate, donated all 1800 acres to the City of Meriden in 1900 with the one stipulation that the City could not reap any financial rewards from the towns folks and I think they’ve lived up to that commitment. The…

Nice farm scene in Southington CT. I didn’t see any animals but it has the appearance of a horse farm. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, 24.3 MP, camera and a Nikon 18-55, f3.5-5.6 @ 35mm equiv.= 66mm. ISO 400, 1/250th, f11, Aperture Priority

Grazing Diary Cows in Roxbury CT
These diary cows, grazing at a Roxbury CT farm, seem to be enjoying this beautiful 72 deg. fall day. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42MP, full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 44mm. ISO 400, 1/500th, f8, Aperture Priority

Refurbishing the iconic Greyledge Farm Barn!
So I set my sail to Roxbury CT on this absolutely gorgeous fall day in hopes of photographing the iconic Greyledge Farm Barn. Well, much to my surprise, upon arriving, the barn was being refurbished. There were workers removing and replacing individual boards on the exterior cladding. How many workers did you count? If you counted (7) you were correct! Look carefully and you’ll find them all. So the other big surprise was that the American Flag, which this barn is known for, is missing from the front end where you see the (3) workers on the ladder. I attached another image, I took several years ago, which depicts the…

Beautiful barn tucked away in Harwinton CT

Christian Barn in Harwinton CT
I love everything about this stoic looking barn sitting high on a Harwinton CT hillside. It has quite a presence and the addition of a cross made crudely out of two pieces of unfinished lumber tells it all. Perhaps there is a message as the bright light from above breaks through the clouds and makes it’s presence on the barn. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42MP, full framed, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 43mm. ISO 200, 1/160th, f11, Aperture Priority
