IT'S AUCTION TIME AGAIN!

This year I am donating two items to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Maine organization: a regular photo session with 11 x 14 print, and a session for corporate head shots. I hope you will consider supporting this organization, as you did last year. Check their website for ways you can help.

YOU'RE INVITED...

...to an opening. Once again, I am honored to have been selected to exhibit in the Maine Photography Show, sponsored by the Boothbay Region Art Foundation. They chose this photograph, which was taken with a digital camera that I had converted to shoot in infrared mode only. It was one of 113 photographs chosen from among 475 entries.


This year's show will be held in the Foundation's gallery in Boothbay Harbor, 1 Townsend Avenue. The opening reception is Friday April 17, from 5 - 7 PM. The exhibit will be up until May 3. Come on out and enjoy the show! And bring your camera - there are lots of photo ops in Boothbay Harbor.

ONE LAST WINTER SHOT

I've been so busy lately, I haven't had a chance to edit this picture of the barn I pass by every day. I posted an infrared shot of it here last summer. I couldn't resist taking another shot this winter, and I know spring will find me back there, taking more.

NEWEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY

A couple of weeks ago, we were asked if we would open our home to a sweet little creature who was looking for a family. I had been toying with the idea of getting a cat, since we have been petless for a few years now, and felt something was missing. I do not have the time for a dog right now, unfortunately. A cat seemed like the perfect compromise, since they're second on my list after dogs.

The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland turned out to have just what I was looking for. He's friendly, loves to cuddle and purr, and has claimed his own "cat pillows." Meet Bo:

You can see more Bo images on my website.

For those looking for a companion, take a ride over to your local shelter. This spring, as happens every spring, they will have lots of kittens looking for homes. You may get lucky and find a little Bo for yourself! If dogs are more to your taste, they have plenty of those, too.

DAWN AFTER THE STORM

Ah, yes, another snowstorm.........the only thing remarkable about it is that this time I got to take some pictures of it. We lost our power, so there was really nothing else to do. This shot was taken as the sun was trying to break through the gloom:

That's okay - spring is right around the corner. Or so they tell me. Those poor woodchucks are going to have a whole lot of digging to do to get to the surface.
