  • Two of my all-time favorite places for coastal exploration and photography are Washington's Olympic National Park and Maine's Schoodic Peninsula. The sea stacks that are characteristic of the Olympic Peninsula, and the beautiful cobble beaches that can be found along the Schoodic Peninsula in Acadia National Park, make both of these places among the most scenic coastal destinations that can be found in the USA. While wandering the  Schoodic Peninsula one morning, I discovered this sea stack rising up from a cobble beach that combined my favorite aspects of both peninsulas, as if this sea stack had traveled the 3,000+ miles from the Pacific Coast to join me in Maine on this special morning.
    Acadia Meets Olympic
  • A rock climber works his way up Otter Cliff, which juts 100 feet straight up from the Atlantic Ocean in Maine's Acadia National Park.
    Adventure Acadia
  • Waves and pebbles mingle on the rocky coast of Acadia National Park. Years and years of such interactions result in the rounded shape of the granite cobbles seen here. Acadia national Park, Maine.
    Smoothed By Time
  • Ice coats rounded granite boulders along the rugged coast of Maine on a frigid evening in February. The night before was the coldest weather my Dad and I have ever camped in, with temperatures dipping close to -20 degrees Fahrenheit! Braving the winter weather has several advantages, though, including practically zero crowds and interesting photo-ops. Acadia National Park, Maine.
    Shiver
  • A beautiful sunrise reflects in a tide pool tucked within the seaweed and barnacle-covered boulders of the Schoodic Peninsula. Often referred to as the "quiet side" of Acadia National Park, the Schoodic Peninsula sees only a fraction of the crowds found at the Mount Desert Island portion of Acadia, making it the perfect place to enjoy some solitude with your scenery along the beautiful coast of Maine.
    The Quiet Side
  • Maine's Acadia National Park is stunningly beautiful any time of year, but the first half of June provides some extra flair when the lupines bloom. I used my macro lens to get this intimate shot of a bee visiting one of the flowers, and I was especially intrigued by the ball of pollen that the bee had collected on its leg.
    Bee Happy
  • A beautiful and colorful sunrise on the rugged coast was the perfect start to a perfect day in Maine's Acadia National Park.
    Perfect Start

    Meadows of Magic
  • A beautiful sunrise glow bathes a rugged cobble beach in warm, soft light. Watching the sun slowly creep above the horizon while listening to the cobblestones clink with each incoming wave was the perfect way to begin the new day. Acadia National Park, Maine.
    Alone With Your Thoughts

    Obfuscation

    Morning Intimacy

    Serenity
  • A halo forms around the sun shortly after sunrise, along the rugged coast of the Schoodic Peninsula. This type of halo is formed by sunlight passing through ice crystals in cirrus clouds in the Earth's atmosphere. Acadia National Park, Maine.

    So Many Activities

    Autumn's Gift
  • Lush vegetation springs to life on the beautiful granite summit of Cadillac Mountain as a colorful sunset lights up the sky. Having watched the sunrise from the rugged ocean shore earlier in the day, this was the perfect way to cap off an incredible day of adventuring in Maine's Acadia National Park.
    What a Day
  • Mount Desert Island looms in the distance on a cloudy afternoon, as seen from the rugged coast of the Schoodic Peninsula. Acadia National Park, Maine.

    Call of the Sea
  • Is there anything more "Maine" than enjoying a fresh-caught lobster on the coast while looking out at the boats that brought in the day's catch?
    Simply Maine
  • An old and weathered fishing buoy hangs on the exterior of an equally old and weathered fishing shack along the coast of Maine.
