  • 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
  • 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
  • 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.
    Winter's Way
  • 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. On this September morning, the grasses and I were treated to a colorful sunrise over Maine's highest peak, and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Baxter State Park, Maine.
    King of the East
  • 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
  • Little River Lighthouse keeps watch from the edge of Little River Island off the coast of Cutler, Maine. Ever wonder what it would be like to live at a remote lighthouse? Well, you're in luck! Guests can stay overnight at the Little River Light Station and watch the most variable tides in the Lower 48 rise and fall up to 20 feet in a day.
    Life of a Lightkeeper
  • Two Atlantic Puffins have a chat on Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine. The island offers incomparable seabird viewing in the summer months, and is home to the largest puffin colony on the coast of Maine. Observation blinds located on the island allow for close-range viewing of these magnificent creatures, with puffins often landing just feet away.
    Sharing Secrets
  • 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
  • An Atlantic Puffin stretches out on Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine. The island offers incomparable seabird viewing in the summer months, and is home to the largest puffin colony on the coast of Maine.

    She Said I'm Cute
  • 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
  • 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.

    Majesty
  • Puffy clouds reflect in Russell Pond in the backcountry of Maine's Baxter State Park. The beauty and solitude of Russell Pond, coupled with the well-maintained lean-tos and canoe rentals for just a few bucks a day, make this one of the best backcountry camping destinations in the Northeast.

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.

    Gold Coast
  • 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.
    Meadows of Magic
  • 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.

    Rise Up
  • 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.
