Ragged Island

In a previous blog, I said I would talk about my adventure on Ragged Island in Harpswell, ME.  Until 1950, the island was owned by the poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay.  My cousins and friends took me out in the dark of night by motorboat for a sleepover on the island.  Tents were constructed of old sails, sheets and blankets.  We stayed warmed by a driftwood fire, drank wine and (they) sang.

The next morning broke warm and sunny.  I took this picture which we have always called, "The Album Cover."  What a wonderful memory ...

Naples, Florida Trip

The weather was rather interesting during our visit.  We had high winds and severe thunderstorms at times, but lovely near 80 degree days as well.  It was great fun being with old friends and eating scrumptious meals as well as relaxing and reading.

In this week's Digital Photography School newsletter, newsletter@digital-photography-school.com, I read an article about the Golden Hour for taking photographs.  This is described as early in the morning and in the evening; not what color the light is.  But, I instantly thought of my photographs of sunsets in both Florida and Maine.  Not only were they taken in the evening, they turned out to have golden light as well.  More in the flickr photostream.

I came home from Maine one week ago.  What a fun trip!  My cousin, Beth, took Bonnie and me on a boat trip around the bay.  The weather was superb; allowing coastal Maine to show off at its best!  More pictures in the flickr photostream.
