This is a photo of what is left of an old horse stable from a large estate that is now a state park. Nearby the graveyard for the horses can be found. I will post a few more photos from this stable over the coming days.
I really loved all the different textures and colors behind this spring branch budding with new life so I of course took a photograph of it. Was lucky to have that Bee show up too!
So disappointing. I had my ice skates with me and everything.
Was great seeing a little bit of color that this Blue Jay provided during a snow storm a few weeks ago. He really stood out in a sea of dull brown and white that the winter brings!
Finally back with a new photo! Missed me?

“One felt as if there was an enormous well behind them, filled up with ages of memory and long, slow, steady thinking; but their surface was sparkling with the present: like sun shimmering on the outer leaves of a vast tree, or on the ripples of a very deep lake. I don’t know but it felt as if something that grew in the ground — asleep, you might say, or just feeling itself as something between root-tip and leaf-tip, between deep earth and sky had suddenly waked up, and was considering you with the same slow care that it had given to its own inside affairs for endless years.”
—The Two Towers by JRR Tolkien
I thought these brown mushrooms looked sort of like a pile of donuts! I doubt they taste as good though!

Something a bit different from all the Autumn photos today. I saw this large Garden Snake slithering through the pine needles on the side of a trail while hiking a few weeks back. He was actually pretty large which you cant really tell from this photo. He let me get real close so I was able to get this photo.

Took this Autumn foliage photo a few days ago at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA. It was a beautiful Fall day and the Fall colors are getting closer to peak!!
Thought this was pretty cool and makes for a good silly Tuesday photo! Over the weekend this bulldozer type machine was picking up the pipes used on the beach for dredging. With the sand pouring out looking like smoke and ashes and the angle the pipe was being lifted it looked to me like this bulldozer was smoking a cigarette.
I took this photograph in late September on Plum Island in Newburyport, MA. Already the Fall colors were starting to appear!
This is a great use for the autumn harvest if you ask me! This giant straw man made of hay bales and pumpkins was at a local farm by the side of the road. A great way to attract customers!
It may be a bit hard to see on this smaller version of the photo but on the mooring ball of the sailboat there is a bird with his wings all stretched out! Thought that was pretty cool. If you click the photo to make it larger you should be able to see the bird better.
Another shot of the Owl Family! Here is a photo of the mother Barred Owl! She is either giving me a High Five or showing off her razor like claws to warn me not to get to close to her babies!
As always click the image to make it bigger.
Lots of exciting developments in the owl family! First of all the first baby owl has left its hole and is now in another tree! The parents still seem to take care of it and it cant really fly yet. I will post a photo of him later in the week. This is the second owl baby. I took this photo yesterday afternoon with my Tamron 70-300 lens combined with my Tamron 1.4x TC. As you can see he is getting big! Soon after this photo he left the hole as well and is now high up in this tree on the branches! He often stretches and flaps his wings to practice flying. And I thought that was all of them but nope soon I saw a third baby owl head in the hole! So there is still another baby owl in there. I also got some great shots of the mother owl. I will post one of her this week too! So this is Owl week on Fotoblography.com!
As I said in my last post I had a few cool bird photos for this week. Well this one is a first for me! It is a photo of an owl I took a couple of weeks ago. Be sure to click on the photo to make it larger so its easier to see the owl. Believe it or not there is a tree near where I live that has an owl family in it! This male owl watches over the tree where his mate is and gets food for the female owl who is I assume sitting on her eggs in the hole. If any birds or animals get close to the hole he chases after them to protect his family. They are a noisy bunch always hooting back and forth. After researching online I found out it is a Barred Owl and has a really unique hoot that they describe on that site I linked to as sounding like: “Who, cooks, for-you? Who, cooks, for-you, all?” There is alot more great information about Barred Owls at that link.
What is really cool about this is the tree the mother owl is in is the same one that the Raccoon family lived in a couple of years ago! I am hoping to get more photos of the male owl and maybe the mother owl someday too if she ever comes out of the hole! And who knows maybe I will get some of the baby owls too!
I have a couple of cool bird photos to share over the next few days. First this Hawk photo that I took on Friday. He let me get really close to him and was not afraid of me at all. He was sitting above a bird feeder so I think he was on the hunt for dinner. I am not sure what kind of hawk it is does anyone know?
I figured I better start taking some Spring flower shots before Spring is over!
My cat challenging the camera to a staring contest.
Since this will probably be my last post before Christmas I just want to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! And I also want to thank you all for your continued visits and comments as they are greatly appreciated!
Hope you have a great Christmas everyone!

Looking through this foggy window in a cabin by a lake the man on the bench seemed to be haunted by the shadowy figure outside the window.
We had our first two snow storms of the year in the past week. Here is a photo I took of the fresh snow on some trees the morning after the first storm.
…on the otherside.
I wonder if they are still together?
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 took this photo at the same gift shop where I posted this other glass photo last month.
Here is an interesting trivia question. What building in the USA is the the most often-painted building by artists? According to Wikipedia it is this little red building in Rockport MA known simply as Motif Number 1.
I took this photo from inside a gift shop overlooking Rockport Harbor. Its easier to see the details in this photo when you click on the image to make it larger.
A few weeks ago I went to Rockport, MA for the first time. I definitely will be going back as I found it a really charming New England harbor town!
