Wild Iris
Blue Flag Iris: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, June 2025 — There is a little pond formed where the road crosses one of the meandering streams that runs down through the marshes behind the dunes to the sea, where a clump of wild iris has been blooming every June for as long as I can remember. I photograph it every year. Sony a5100. Sony 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Intelligent Auto with Landscape Mode. Processed in Photomator.
Rapid run
Batson River, Emmon’s Preserve, Kennebunkport, Maine, April 2025 — Relatively high water on the Batson River (more of a brook really) in Emmon’s Preserve (Kennebunkport Land Trust). Still no leaves on the trees so this is just about as bright as this stretch of water gets. Sony a5100 with Sony 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Shutter Preferred at 1/40th. Processed in Photomator.
Eddy art
Emmon’s Preserve, Kennebunkport, Maine, April 2025 —Water heavily laden with tannins from decaying leaves and high spring stream levels work with gravity and fluid dynamics and the April sun to create art in the eddies. Sony a5100. 10-18 f4 zoom at 27mm. Superior Auto. Photomator and LikeAFrame.
Maine! more snow
Actually this is still the snow from Sunday morning, and of course by now the wind has knocked most of it off the trees and brush, but it is still there. It has not been above freezing since. 🙂 Sony a5100 in Superior Auto, with Landscape mode selected. Sony 10-18 f4 @ 15mm equivalent. Processed in Photomator and framed in LikeAFrame.
Maine! Off East Point in January

Beartooth Highway: Above Timberline
The strange alpine landscape of the Beartooth Mountains just east of Yellowstone National Park, above timberline. Lots of lakes in the deep valleys. Sony a5100 with E10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape scene mode selection. Processed in Photomator.
Yellowstone! From Blacktail
We made one more run up over Blacktail Plateau, past where the carcass was earlier in the morning, just to see what was happening. The scenery was gorgeous…the light just coming across the plateau almost horizontal, and picking out the mountains to the north. Sony a5100 with E10-18 f4 @ 15mm equivalent.

Yellowstone! View from another planet

Maine! King Tide
The super moon is up…Beaver or Bear Moon, depending on who you listen to…and the tides are running very high, completely flooding the marsh. This is looking both ways from the bridge over Back Creek on the way into our local beach. Sony a5100 with E 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape Scene mode. Processed in Photomator.
Tetons! From the Snake
I hope you are not getting tired of the Grand Tetons already. We only had a late morning and early afternoon there but the autumn scenery was spectacular. We drove a barely a road down off the highway right down to the banks of the Snake River for a different perspective on the mountains. Top view is with the Sony a6700 and Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 75mm equivalent. The bottom view is with the Sony a5100 and E 10-18 f4 at 15mm equivalent.
