Autumn Colors in Augusta, Maine

This afternoon, I was out and about photographing these scenes around Augusta, Maine. I count my blessings that I get to see such rich colors up close and personal. If you live in a place where there isn’t much of a change in seasons, I hope you enjoy taking in New England’s beauty through my photos. Until next time…

A Maine Christmas

Good tidings to you on this most blessed of days!

An ice storm hit New England, and many people here in Maine have been without power for more than 48 hours, including yours truly.

Even though the temperature plummeted into the single digits, the cold weather didn’t keep me from going outdoors with my camera.

Following are some winter scenes I photographed while out and about.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Yes, it's really that big.
