In Maine, it is said that people can live here their entire lives and never see a rabbit. The reason for this is simple. Eastern cottontail rabbits, like foxes, are primarily nocturnal. On occasion one might be seen during the day, but that is an extremely rare occurrence. I found this rabbit on my way into work the other night.

June 2, 2017This time of the year is perfect for capturing snowy egrets, and one finally got close enough for me to get a great shot. If you’ve ever tried to shoot these birds, and ended up with a white blob, the secret is to under expose it by one stop; it makes all the difference.
First Look Photo: Shooting Bugles
May 31, 2017This week I found a flower I’ve never seen. It was tiny, purple, and clustered. I did the usual research and found nothing in the books. I finally found it on the internet. It’s a flower called a blue bugle, and it grows wild in England and Ireland, but seems to enjoy the atmosphere of Maine.
