Always cool to have a few Piliated Woodpeckers stop by. They love the berry bushes out back and have several favorite dead trees. They always makes a loud entrance.

There were a few pretty sweet Auroras in Acadia this past season. But, it seems I was always about 30 minutes late or the clouds rolled in. I have an Aurora alert on my iPhone, but for the big one on October 13th, my phone was on silent. Once I saw the alert, I hurried to my spot at Jordan Pond, but only caught a little of the tail end. Some of my friends took some incredible photos that night. Oh well, 2018 is another year. My feeble attempts are below.

After no sightings for over two months, one of the adult Barred Owls gave me a last look before I head back to NJ. It was so much fun following this family since May. Hopefully they will have some new owlets in the Spring.
Just some random shots taken recently in Acadia National Park.

I noticed a crowd of people out on the rocks at Jordan Pond. First thing I thought was maybe an otter. Well, it was no otter, but it was this guy. For some reason, this frog had everyone mesmerized.
I don’t shoot many flowers, but I stopped by Thuya Gardens one day. Don’t have a macro lens, shot these with my Nikon 200-500mm.
