The Rock at Rock Harbor

Apparently Rock Harbor on the Cape is named after this huge rock! Wellp there you have it. It's about a half mile walk out from shore on the tidal flats. After taking some sunset pics on the other side of the harbor, I made a trek out to get some quick shots of it in the fading light. There were only a few families walking around this wide open area, a huge difference from the other side of the harbor. It was a really quiet spot with only the sound of water rolling in. 

After snapping a few up close and since it was pretty dark at this point, I had packed up my gear and headed on my way out. Glad I turned around and noticed the pathway in the sea grass reflecting the light, which really framed up the massive piece of stone for a pretty cool perspective.

Boston Marathon 2014

The 2014 Boston Marathon proved that a city, state, and nation can come together after a tragedy stronger than ever. An amazing spring day greeted runners and viewers along the entire course. American Meb Keflezighi won the Men's division for the first time since 1983 and Dick and Rick (Team) Hoyt completed their 32nd and final marathon in a fitting conclusion to great event and year of recovery.

Winter Drive

So, it's been 5 days of pic of the day (#potd2014)! I've quickly realized this is going to clog up the blog with an absurd number of posts. For the few who might be interested, I'll be uploading the pics to this set on Flickr here. Maybe I'll do some recaps from time to time here on the blog as well.

More to the point, today's pic is some winter driving.

Hypster in Newton

Day 3 of #POTD2014.

Along the Charles River in Newton, an industrial building with a pretty interesting tag. Hypster!

Walden Pond at Sunset

In late October, I took a half day to try to shoot the peak foliage in the area. Unfortunately, the day had been overcast with little sun shining through. As sunset was approaching, I made my way to Walden Pond, hoping for the best. The clouds departed and I had a great 45 minutes of golden hour photography - with dark late afternoon shadows and strong light.

You'll see some swimmers in these pictures - there is a group of older individuals and couples (65+) who routinely swim the cool water here every afternoon!

Walden is such a quiet and relaxing place, it's worth the drive out to Concord.

Autumn Scenes in MA

Two weeks ago, we spent most of a day exploring and looking for some classic New England foliage. It was an overcast day, but Lexington Battle Green (where the Revolutionary War began) had some great color. A morning detour to Wellesley and Natick brought great shots of barns and more rural side-road scenes.
