organizing maine … a work in progress

As I walked in the woods in Maine, I thought often of photographer Eliot Porter (1901-1990) especially when I tried to train my camera on the fall of light on bared branches …
and on shadows shifting across gray stone made colorful with wildflowers and lichen.
And then of course as you’re focusing on light and branches you realize that there are other things being illuminated as well.
Still sorting pictures. A wonderful work in progress. Stay tuned. 🙂

Found in a field in Maine. I have no idea what this plant is but thought it rather luminous. If you know, please share.

The main thought that comes to mind as I finally settle down to sort through all of the pictures I took during a 2-day stay in Maine is: how in the world am I going to organize these images? Which images do I keep and which ones do I discard?
Which ones will become prints versus a note card?
Which ones might inspire a scarf?
It is a wonderfully calming challenge to have in a world so full of chaos. Once I settle on a plan for the photos you know I’ll be sure to share. Meanwhile, good thoughts and best wishes go out to all those struggling in this moment.

It’s going to take a while to download all of the pictures I took this past weekend in Maine. Until then, I’ll share the image of this little fellow watching me from his rocky perch in Acadia.
an interrupted meal

My understanding is that box turtles will eat just about anything that they consider edible. There must have been some tastiness in the stick in this one’s mouth. But we had to interrupt its meal because it was munching in the middle of Wildlife Drive in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge of Maryland. It was gently moved to the side of the road where I’m sure it found more good stuff to munch.
