This past Saturday I went up to Maine. It ended up being a foggy day which sometimes puts a damper on taking photos. I personally like the atmosphere that fog creates though so I took advantage of the day. So I will be starting a series with some photos from this foggy day starting today.

Time flies…when your having fun!

Today is the one year anniversary of  Fotoblography.com! It has been a fun and educational year sharing my photos with you all and visiting your photoblogs as well! I really can’t believe it has been a year already. A year ago today this train was the first photo that I posted to my blog so today I decided to convert it to b&w to give it a more old time feel.

You have probably noticed that I have been doing some spring cleaning too and I am now using a new theme on my blog! I figured after a year it was time for a change. As you may have noticed the images are now larger so I hope they will be easier to see! If anyone notices any bugs I may have missed with my new layout please let me know.

I want to thank everyone for their visits and posts especially the regulars! Last year there were over 2,800 comments on this site which is WAY more then I ever would have imagined when I first started! Having this outlet to share my photos has really meant alot and now when I am out shooting I am constantly thinking if the photo is good enough to be posted or not, and I am taking photos more than I ever have. So stick around hopefully the next year will be even better than the last!

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Pretty cool name for this fishing boat in Plymouth Harbor.

Photo taken inside a small gift shop in Plymouth MA.

I am not sure what these old looking buildings are in Plymouth. There are right near Plymouth rock so I assume they must be some sort of recreation of some old fashioned buildings? Anyways there was a big ugly red wastebasket that was between the two buildings so it took a little while to find an angle to shot this at that did not show the basket. But as you can see I eventually did find an angle that worked!

I decided to take a break with my Lensbaby lens for a bit and last weekend went out to Plymouth MA and took a bunch of photos with my other more “normal” lenses. Here is one of a firebox. You dont see these fireboxes as much anymore these days. I guess they are getting obsolete becuase of cell phones.

The entrance to Salem Willows park. Looks kind of scary after the processing and with the Lensbaby effect! I can assure you in person its not!

An ornate street lamp on an ordinary pole at Salem Willows Park in Salem, MA.

Another shot from the marina this time of a “manlift”.  I assume this is used to lift workers up high to work on the larger boats.

With Easter fast approaching the Jelly Bean harvest is in full swing! Here is a red Jelly Bean plant that has been harvested already by the Jelly Bean farmers. Near by there were green, orange, and even black jelly bean plants all waiting to be harvested for Easter Candy!

Haha just joking obviously I dont know what this plant is but the berries do look like jelly beans to me!

Another shot from the marina this time of the side of an old boat where the paint on the wood is chipping.

Here is a shot I took at a Marina this past weekend of the undersides of a bunch of boats being stored over the winter there.

I got a chance to go to Salem MA over the weekend and I used my new Lensbaby lens alot. Having said that I am not sure about this shot. I like it but I sort of think it may have been better with a higher aperture on the lensbaby so there would be a bit less blur. What do you think did I go overboard with the lensbaby on this shot?

The Beast had plenty to eat today! We had about a foot of snow today and it devoured it!
