I took these photos of water from the Annapolis docks. Even though they look like abstract digital art, they are unedited photographs except for

Today’s Photos of Verdant Spring Green After Rain
The bright side of going off on a wild goose chase today was seeing all this incredible new green, all the more vibrant because it was wet!
Photos of Way More Flooding
A couple weeks ago we had five inches of rain with lots of flooding, trees down, and power outages. On my blog see my photos of it by clicking here and clicking here. In the last two days we got six more inches of rain, this time on an already saturated water table. That makes … Read more
Photos of Local Waterfalls
The weather has turned lovely but still serious excess water moves through the area. This week I’ve enjoyed hiking around on precarious footing in gorgeous early spring air to see these falls.
Photos of Unusual Whitewater on Swollen Local Streams
After around five inches of rain yesterday, 78,000 people in Connecticut are still without power, with many more than that powerless over the border in New York. Roads and highways are closed due to flooding or trees down.
Photos of Fresh Snow by the River
I took these photos early last Saturday morning after a 12 hour slow snow the day before. I had a great time taking these; I hope you like them… Even though you know I love bright colors, grey can be beautiful!
Photos of Snowy Streams
Between snow storms here we had a few lovely days. I got the opportunity to get out and photograph some of our smaller steams as they head to Long Island Sound. I hope you enjoy them… it’s sleeting here right now…
Photos of Wet November by the River
Even dismal weather can be beautiful if you just look more closely, as these photos show. I’m enjoying the prospect of the coming winter, not just for how cozy it is inside with a book, or the effectiveness of getting more things done in fewer frolicking daylight hours. I’m also looking forward to seeing the … Read more
Day 5: Creative Arts Camp 2009
After a nice church service (this crowd sings so well!) complete with one of my favorite solos (On Eagle’s Wings), we had individual presentations of work completed over these past four days. We saw a slide show by the photographers, and work by mobile makers; we hiked to view environmental installations, and listened to screen … Read more
Biking Acadia Carriage Roads
This is the fourth year in a row I have done this same 18 mile bike ride of the carriage roads in Acadia National Park, and the last three years my youngest daughter has done it with me. These carriage roads were built at great expense by John D. Rockefeller who originally owned the Acadia … Read more
Eastern Shoreline of Mt. Desert Island
Today we visited the eastern shoreline of Acadia National Park’s main island at Sand Beach and near Thunder Hole. These two spots, while very near each other, couldn’t be more different. One is sandy and calm, and the other rocky and crashing. I was particularly inspired by the later today, and stayed in one place … Read more
Schoodic Peninsula
My daughter and I made our annual trek to the Schoodic Peninsula which is another separate region of Acadia National Park, about an hour north of the main part of the park. I copied the explanatory sign for you to see in this post (as only a homeschooling mother might do) to explain the interesting … Read more
Photos of Annapolis Boats & Blitz
While in Annapolis, I was down on the docks for two of my meals. So here are a few boat shots and some water. Both nights – due to being in a hurry – I missed taking photos of a big red sun setting over the water on the marinas. “Red sun at night/sailor’s delight!” … Read more
Water at the Quarry
We are members of what is called the “Limekiln Swimming Association,” but what everyone here affectionately calls “The Quarry.” There are 75 member families, although surprisingly we often have it to ourselves, and we’ve been members long enough that our friends have become members so we often run into church or homeschooling friends here. It … Read more
Vaill Beach
Vaill Beach was our other favorite beach on Block Island. Also on the Atlantic side, it is wild and picturesque. We loved the way the rocks made melodic tricking sounds every time a wave receded. We wish we had a recording of that! Depending where you stood, the tone was different based on the size … Read more
