I could not decide if I went to far or not with the softening of this image. Eventually I decided I preferred the softened version as it has a dreamlike feeling to it that draws me in. I have included the normal version below that I almost posted instead. Which version do you prefer? Click on the thumbnail below of the unsoftened version to make it bigger.
I never got around to posting this photo from my Nubble Lighthouse series so I figured now was as good a time as any!
Well its the week of July 4th and here in MA it has been one of the rainiest and coldest Junes I can remember! I thought this photo was appropriate considering the dreary weather.
Looks like these Squirrels may have a system where one looks for food while the other acts as a lookout.
I know it looks like I was laying on the ground when I took this but in fact the Squirrels were on the top of a hill and I was standing pretty much eye level with them at the bottom of the hill. I just zoomed way in! It was alot easier then getting all dirty on the ground!
Wonder if he found any buried treasures?
Taken Memorial Day Weekend at Hampton Beach NH.
This dog, that I assume belonged to the owner of this small store, was watching intently as each person walked by or came into the store to browse for souvenirs.
Meet the new Double-Mint gum twins! This was a beach side photo-shoot for their new ad campaign. 
These Ducks tucked their heads in when I came near. I think they where cleaning themselves but it looks like they are trying to hide! Or maybe they were mad at me for interupting their romantic seaside date so they gave me the cold shoulder? 
I was lucky to catch this old time car driving past a photo shop named Old Tyme Photo. I used a default filter in my editing program that is supposed to make the photo look like a 1960’s slide. I think the effect worked pretty well.
Finally a Springtime photo from me! This is a branch from a Forsythia bush in my yard. Behind it is a large rock if you are wondering what that is.
I am not sure what kind of plant this is but I took this photo in Maine a couple of weeks ago before any leaves had started to sprout.
