A Friday Walk to Work in Keene, NH
A cold front came through Keene overnight, leaving everything outside covered with beads of water left over from the heavy rain. The temperature had also dropped into the upper 50s, making for a beautiful morning for a walk to work. I decided to take a route through the Ashuelot River Park, and left early enough […]
Ashuelot River Park, Keene, NH
Another cool and cloudy morning allowed me to walk to work again today, this time taking a route through the Ashuelot River Park here in Keene, NH. I decided to travel light today, sticking with a 50mm lens that I tried to shoot wide open as much as possible, just to get used to the […]
Wood Ducks in the Ashuelot River

Lake Target
As promised, I returned to the Monadnock Marketplace shopping plaza in Keene, NH this morning before work to explore a small body of water near the Target store that my wife and I jokingly call “Lake Target.” The sky was painted in long bands of pink-topped clouds that reflected the light from the rising sun […]

Walking to the Office
A cold front passed through New Hampshire overnight, and with the temperature dropping into the mid 50s, there were tiny drops of dew covering just about every surface.

During my return visit to the American bald eagle nest on the Connecticut River just north of Brattleboro, VT, I was able to observe the adult bald eagle taking off from its nest.

American Bald Eagle Landing Sequence
During my return visit to the American bald eagle nest on the Connecticut River just North of Brattleboro, VT I saw the adult eagle take flight on two different occasions.

Nesting American Bald Eagles
This afternoon, I was able to make another visit to the American bald eagle nest just North of Brattleboro, VT on the Connecticut River. A few weeks ago during a visit to the same location, I was able to photograph a single adult bald eagle guarding its rather large nest. This time around, a dark-colored […]
