    In the Spotlight

    Finally Spring
  • Is there anything more New England than a Christmas tree made out of lobster traps and buoys? "Trees" of different sizes and arrangements can be found in coastal towns throughout New England during the Christmas season, and the tree pictured here comes with the added bonus of having the Nubble Lighthouse, dressed in its own Christmas lights, as a backdrop.
    'Tis the Season
  • The Nubble Lighthouse in Maine is one of New England's most beautiful coastal attractions any time of year, but it becomes truly magical each winter when the lighthouse gets lit up with Christmas lights. I especially loved how the reflection of the lights in the sea became more prevalent as the sky grew darker.
    Christmas on the Coast
  • The Nubble Lighthouse in Maine is one of New England's most beautiful coastal attractions any time of year, but it becomes truly magical each winter when the lighthouse gets lit up with Christmas lights.

    Catharsis
  • Chilly and damp autumn days are perfect for forest hiking and waterfall photography, especially along deserted trails during peak foliage. I came across these picturesque cascades while on a hike in New Hampshire's White Mountains, and spent an hour just sitting next to the falls admiring their beauty before capturing the photo seen here.
    Slow it Down
  • Clearing fog, autumn colors and sunrise light combined to create an enchanting scene in New Hampshire's White Mountains. This was our first autumn trip to the White Mountains, and we were blown away by the seemingly endless array of hikes, scenic drives, and phenomenal views that this exceptionally rugged and beautiful mountain range has to offer.
    Layers of Light
  • Bash Bish Falls pours into a rocky grotto adorned with fresh spring foliage. While the lushness and beauty of the falls and gorge may make it seem like this photo was taken in an exotic tropical hideaway, this type of beauty can be found right in the Taconic Mountains of New York and Massachusetts.

    Life of a Lightkeeper

    She Said I'm Cute
  • Bash Bish Falls pours into a rocky grotto adorned with fresh spring foliage. I ducked out of work early on this misty spring afternoon, and spent the evening exploring and photographing the falls and gorge in complete solitude. Taconic Mountains, Massachusetts.
    No Work, All Play
  • A fantastic winter sunrise lights up the sky above the rugged, beautiful and snowy Maine coast. While the vast majority of people visit Maine's coastal regions in the summer months, winter is a truly magical time to visit, as the throngs of summer tourists are gone and one can often experience and appreciate the uniqueness of the Maine coast in total solitude.
    Snow & Solitude
  • As if this treehouse in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom wasn't enchanting enough on its own, the fire ring down by the verdant creek took the experience to another level.
    All That One Needs
  • With the busy days of summer a distant memory, the only sign of life at this primitive dune shack on a snowy February day was animal prints in the snow. Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts.
    Seeking Euphoria
  • Dawn broke cold and clear on this beautiful winter morning on a sandy beach in Cape Cod.
    Deserted Dunes
  • While trekking out on the jetty in Provincetown, I kept noticing piles of broken crab, clam and mussel shells, and was initially perplexed by their presence. Once a seagull swooped down on the rocks right in front of me, though, it all became clear. After the sea gulls pluck a clam out of the sandy sea floor at low tide, they fly up to the jetty and repeatedly drop their meal onto the rocks until it cracks open enough for them to enjoy their reward. It was refreshing to learn that sea gulls are indeed capable of hunting and not just stealing your picnic lunch while trying to enjoy a day at the beach! Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
    Breakfast on the Jetty

    Reveal
  • After three days of backpacking through the Maine wilderness, climbing over rocky passes and scrambling down precipitous mountain ledges, I was mentally and physically drained as I shuffled the final miles to my last campsite of the trip at Chimney Pond. As I stopped to finish off the last of my water, I turned around to see the evening sun bursting through the beautiful hardwood forest, and thankfully had enough energy even in my dazed state to set up my camera and capture this photo. Baxter State Park, Maine.
    Dazed & Confused
  • The blueberry bushes along the coast of the Schoodic Peninsula turn brilliant red in October, and on this morning the rising sun burst through the clouds just enough to set the bushes ablaze. Acadia National Park, Maine.
    Burning Bush
  • Green forest rings a picturesque lake on a beautiful summer morning in Vermont.
    Give Us The Greens of Summer
  • 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
  • In Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, a treehouse in the pristine forest proved to be the perfect sanctuary for escaping the modern world and reconnecting with what's most important - nature and each other.
    Forest Sanctuary
  • 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

    Tales to Tell
  • 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
  • Beautiful fall colors reflect in a still pond on a misty October morning. Acadia National Park, Maine.
    Autumn's Gift
  • 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
  • Chimney Pond, at the base of Maine's Mt. Katahdin, is lined with fragile alpine grasses that turn a beautiful shade of gold in fall.

    King of the East
  • 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
  • A hiker takes in the view from a clifftop perch in Maine's Acadia National Park.
    So Many Activities
  • 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
  • This large birch tree in the verdant Vermont forest didn't let a boulder stop it from flourishing, it simply decided to grow right around it! The next time I'm faced with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, I'll think about this tree as motivation.
    I Will Find a Way
  • One of my favorite ways to spend a misty autumn day is a creekside hike through the forest, when the soft light makes the forest glow and come alive with countless sights, smells and sounds.

    The Quiet Side
  • 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
