Water Ballet at the Aquarium

Sometimes you just have to ready...for anything. While visiting the Seattle aquarium a few years ago, here was this intriguing sea anemone firmly attached to its water world behind one inch thick glass. The slight movement of the water reminded me of the grace and beauty of the ballet.

Maine Rocks!

The colors and textures of Maine's rocky coast are simply fascinating. Multi-colored rock formations juxtaposed with seaweed and barnacles--it doesn't get much better than that! The subjects are almost endless in number, with blues, reds, pinks, and greens everywhere. You just have to look for them.

Plum Island Breakwater

It's always nice to get away from it all and walk the beach at Plum Island. A quiet and restorative scene where sunbathing, fishing, swimming, or walking is always in vogue. The breakwater takes on fascinating shapes and configurations. The time of day, the tide, and the clouds all help to make each visit and image unique.

Walking at Low Tide along the Marginal Way

Shoreline along the Marginal Way, Ogunquit Beach

I check the tide schedules often when planning a visit to Ogunquit. Sometimes I must wait several days or a few weeks so that the tide will be right for a breath taking sunrise image. Planning shoreline shots with the right light and open space requires an afternoon low tide. The colors and the striations of the shoreline rock along the Marginal Way are both fascinating and intriguing. Sometimes I forget that the tide waits for no one. When the incoming tide rushes over the tops of my hiking boots, then I know it's time to move on.
