Sunflower

Enjoy this shy little sunflower, acting like it didn't want it's photo taken.

Dancing Frogs

The front door of the Benevolent Order of Dancing Frogs Lodge. They really make you leap through hoops before one may join.

Cosmo Flowers

Cosmos, one of my very favorite summer annuals. Colorful and breezy as well as easy to take care of.

Another Time

Wonderful little display of another time right in the center of Mt. Vernon, Maine...enjoy!

Taxi

This here little fella is a lobsterman's taxi!

Fletcher Mt.

Fletcher Mountain in Concord plantation displaying all it's beautiful autumn color.

Apple Magic

Not sure if this is where that apple landed or if it was placed there for the autumn apple fest that the magical little forest people celebrate under the October full moon.

Autumn on the farm along Sandy Stream

The Harvest

"The Harvest" is the title of this little gem of a photo. Would look chic in a kitchen or breeze way approach to any kitchen, especially renovated old farm houses. Would love to hear feedback from so many of you regarding my photos or my blog.

The title of this photo is "The Wait" ...shelter is set up, decoys are out, duck call at the ready, now the waiting with anticipation.

Eastern Blue Bird

Eastern Blue Bird this past summer in the yard, just a beautiful, handsome bird, always a treat to happen upon one.

Mail Box

 Neat gift one of my sons gave us last Christmas. He took a photo of Rangeley Lake that I had taken and put it on this new mailbox he gave us. Sun and weather resistant and just an all around neat gift that my wife and I will enjoy for a long time.



  
 This old exit sign at a drive in theater caught my eye and thought it was neat being that it brought back wonderful teen memories. That theater is still operating today in Skowhegan, Maine.

   Poking around our camp land a short time after we purchased it we came upon this old Pontiac car that was pretty well buried other than what is visible. Not sure what year it is but there is an interesting story that goes with it so when ever I walk by it I always have a small grin on my lips. If you look close you may see that it was the original stick shift!

My wife who loves to paint and do all kinds of neat stuff must have been feeling kind of tall the other day for she got her colors out and created these two giraffes. If I must say, not bad for a couple quickies.

 Couple beaver shots to wet the old trapping appetite

Bee coming in to refuel with more sweet nectar

Nothing goes to waste in nature, here this chickadee is gathering deer hair for his nest.

Couple of hummingbird moths gathering nectar

Our pup "TAZ" after a long night at the VFW

Painting of a cove on the way to West Quoddy, I believe near Cutler, Maine

Photo of "Coop" the coopers hawk that visits the yard once or twice a week. Of course it is great hunting in the yard with all the bird feeders about.

This scary dude is a large painting my wife did for our Great Grand daughter. At first she was afraid of it but after a few visits they have become really good friends.

Female Cardinal enjoying something good to eat while keeping her back to the snow storm. Few other feathered friends with her as well.

Another female cardinal trying to get some protection and warmth from a Maine snow storm.

Last but not least are these Jack-O-lantern mushroom growing at the base of a dead American chestnut tree stump. Hope you enjoyed this weeks photos. Six more weeks after tomorrow and spring will be here.

The beauty of nature is so simple that it is completely missed by so many. Like this fallen twig casting beautiful shadows upon the snow. Very simple peaceful serenity.

Marshall Point Lighthouse at Port Clyde, Maine, built in 1823 and rebuilt in 1858. It is located on the east side entrance to Port Clyde. Quint little fishing village.

This little fellow is a flying squirrel who had taken up residents in one of my birdhouses at camp. One day I was out cutting firewood and for some reason or other looked up in the tree and there he was just staring at me very inquisitively. I really thing he was hoping I was not going to cut down his lofty home.

Spent a couple days in Prospect Harbor. This was the view from our cottage porch which was right up against the water at high tide. While sitting there one evening I captured the night shadows beginning to settled along the whole shore. beautiful area on the Schoodic Peninsula. Great restaurant called the "Pickle Wrinkle " .

Naked as a J-Bird

First blue jay that I have met who absolutely refused to have his picture taken, mumbled something like he was naked as a Jay bird.... Let me tell you them jay's can be so dang finicky at times...probably his best side anyway?

Coopers Hawk giving thanks for the bounty of a pigeon that he just captured

Another shot of a Coopers hawk downing a pigeon, this was very interesting for I was able to watch the whole process of the kill.

Beaver taking a short scratching break from his busy work of getting dam and lodge building material.

This red squirrel was featured on America's Most Wanted once, he's an egg and chick thief. Just look at the way he is peering into that bird box, guilty written all over him. If spotted please call Audubon, he may be armed and dangerous with those two front incisors he brandishes when caught.
