Rocks and reflections in a pond on a still November morning. A nice escape from the bitter and absurd Presidential election. It’s all over today — or is it?
Take-off
Hooded mergansers taking flight at McGrath Pond on a November morning.
Birches
Birches on a hillside surrounding Beaver Dam Pond on the Park Loop Drive in Acadia National Park.
The Beehive
The Beehive as viewed from Sand Beach in Acadia National Park. A 0.8 mile trail with iron rungs on the exposed cliffs reaches the summit of this 520 foot mountain. It’s not a place for people who are afraid of heights — or widths.
Lifting Fog
Morning fog on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. Early November brings a new color palette as most of the leaves have fallen. It also brings quiet, as most of the tourists have left for the season.
Water!
Two weeks ago this stream in the Kennebec Highlands was dry as the result of drought conditions through summer and early fall. Finally we’ve had some good rainfalls and the stream is flowing again.
Porcupine and Corn
What do this baby porcupine and this ear of corn have in common? I noticed that the corn silk “mirrored” the disheveled fur on this irresistible little guy. Thanks to the staff at the Hirundo Wildlife Refuge in Orono, Maine, I had the opportunity to photograph him.
Maple Leaf Macro
The forest floor in late autumn can be a nature photographer’s playground. This macro shot of the underside of a maple leaf was just the beginning. 🙂
At the Beach
Compared to mid-summer, Popham Beach can be a quiet place on a winter day. I was able to capture these ripples undisturbed by footprints.
Birches
Birches in late October on Sanders Hill trail, Kennebec Highlands, Central Maine.
