We got to Wolfe’s Neck state park as the sun was setting which made for gorgeous views but had to get back to the car as apparently the park shuts its gates when the sun goes down. And it was cold…

Brunswick and Topsham are also connected by this bridge over the Androscoggin River. This is from last week when a day of showers gave way to low mist illuminated by a setting sun, one of those moments when I was glad to have my camera on me.

From Saturday’s Maine Photography Meetup in Wolf’s Neck State Park, 20 minutes south of here. Just the 5 of us, but it was a grand day for a walk. More soon I hope.

The town (not the waterfall) where Stephen King went to school if Wikipedia‘s to be believed.

Nice area. It has trees… water… trees.

Jesse gave me a quick tour of the surroundings of Amherst, Massachusetts on Sunday. He’s got a ton of fancy equipment but doesn’t have the same narcissistic urge to share his pics with the internet at large so I can only guess at the outstanding quality of what he shoots. This one’s from Rattlesnake Creek near Leverett. Trees about to turn, bubbling brooks and long exposures made for a bucolic Sunday morning.

Nothing much to say about this one, but what do you reckon to the google map? Worth persevering with?

Not sure what that is in metric, but it seems like a bargain. Let’s do the maths… 2.2lbs in a kilo so… $2.49 x 2.2= $5.48/kilo and today that’s £3.67 in pounds sterling for a kilogram of walnuts and hazelnuts. Is that a good deal?

I’ve not had a comment on this photoblog for weeks so I’m trying to invite interaction…

This is from wandering round Portland’s Arboretum, where they have a fine selection of trees with their Latin names emblazoned on plaques. Though this here photo could really be from anywhere…

Bokeh in Wikipedia…: Bokeh (derived from Japanese boke, “become blurred or fuzzy”) is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.

It’s a catch-all term commonly employed in the expression, it’s not blurred, it’s bokeh. This particular shot was just happenstance since I’m buggered if I’m lying facedown on the frozen lawn to take a picture at 7am on a Sunday and happened whilst holding the camera down by my shoes and hoping for the best.

A 20 minute walk with the dog becomes a lot more interesting when you’re packing your cheap and cheerful fisheye lens.
