Encounter with the Great Beyond?
I left work the other day and, as I walked out into the parking lot, thought “Boy, it got really dark out here.” In fact, it was so dark I questioned what time of year it was. Were we losing daylight already? Had I not been paying attention and allowed late autumn to sneak up…

Random Photo Dump
Here are some photos I’ve taken over the past few days. We start, of course, with Jeannie. One of Jeannie’s favorite things to do is sunbathe in the driveway. Something about the warm pavement in direct sunlight has attracted every dog we’ve ever had to this spot. After work the other day I went down…

Misty Morning on the Bridge
I went out a little early this morning to capture some photos from the Fort Street Bridge while the river was still foggy. The fog over the river gave the old power plant a ghostly appearance — fitting, given that it’s slated to be torn down to make way for the Caribou Riverfront Redevelopment project.…

Fences and Flowers and Dog
Went for another walk with Jeannie to the solar panel farm just down the road again. Took a bunch of pictures — again. Not to get all gear-head on you, but all the photos were taken with my Canon R50 with 50mm lens. I present to you…the Caribou skyline. This bit of grass was formed…

Caribou in 50mm
Today I decided to wander around town for a bit and take some photos with my 50mm prime lens. I have several lenses but only one prime lens. All the rest are zoom lenses of varying focal lengths — everything from 10mm to 250mm. The prime lens offers a much sharper image at the expense…

Walking Pics
Took another walk down the road with Jeannie the other day. Here are a few snapshots from that walk. Jeannie loves to pounce on things she finds in the shrubs at the base of the fence surrounding the solar panels.

Queues and Lines
Buckle up. We’re headed to McDonalds with more beef than we might leave with. TL;DR I feel that Americans might do well to adopt the term queuing to help normalize a sense of community and cooperation instead of the usual “destined to conquer” approach we take to nearly everything in life — including the McDonalds…

Recent Skies
While browsing my phone camera roll recently, I noticed that I’ve been taking some interesting photos of the sky. The featured image above is from Portage Lake on the Fourth of July weekend. Kim looked like a wizard summoning weather from the north (with her phone, as modern wizards do). The rest of these are…

Walkin’ ‘Round ‘Bou
Honestly I had never heard anyone call this town “‘Bou” until Kim posted it on Facebook yesterday. It’s kind of a cute name for this town. Anyway, Kim and I went for a walk with Jeannie around Caribou yesterday. We started off at the park near Collins Pond (is it still called a “pond” since…
