08/03/11 Great Head Hike

Posted: August 3, 2011 in Uncategorized

Great Head is one of the most scenic hikes in Acadia. It hugs the ocean and circles around to Sand Beach.

Beautiful night on the Frenchman Bay. Caught the Margaret Todd on her sunset cruise.

07/31/11 Somesville Bridge

Posted: August 1, 2011 in Uncategorized

This little bridge in Somesville is the most photographed bridge in Maine. Pretty tough to find new ways of shooting it. The mosquitos and the red ants really protect this place. I knelt down and nearly had my knee cap eaten off. A bald eagle dropped by while I was photographing the bridge, but off course I had the wide angle lens on.

The standard shot ... seen a million times.

This was taken at Salisbury Cove from the kayak.

The bald eagle landed across the street.

Third trip up to Cadillac Mountain. By the end of July, the place starts to get pretty crowded at sunset and sunrise. All the photographers jockeying for good position.

Some early morning shots of the Margaret Todd docked on the Frenchman’s Bay.

Sharon and I kayaked  the Frenchman Bay this morning. The water was very calm when we started, but became pretty choppy by the time we headed back in. The Caribbean Princess was in port.

07/24/11 Gorham Mountain

We climbed the Gorham Mountain path in Acadia today. This is one of our favorite hikes with wonderful views. Images were shot with my Nikon P7000 point and shoot (D700 back at the house).

07/22/11 Sand Beach

Hiked up the Great Head trail this morning to shoot Sand Beach. Extreme fog at first, but it lifted in about an hour. Temperatures in the 90’s, very unusual for Maine.

This is the harbor right down the street from where we stay. There are tons of places like this all around Mount Desert Island.

Northeast Harbor

 

 

07/19/11 The Margaret Todd

Posted: July 21, 2011 in Uncategorized

The Margaret Todd, a four mast schooner, is a fixture in Frenchman Bay each summer. She sails three times each day. This night a couple got married on board.

Sunset was amazing!

 

The Tiger Shark is always docked next to the Margaret Todd.
