The Trees are Frosty, Get the Drone
As the temperature begins to drop (usually 20° Fahrenheit and below) Kim begins to take Jeannie for quick morning snowshoe walks through trails in the back woods. Besides the river bed in the summer and fall months, the snowy trails behind our house are Kim’s favorite place to be. The cold winter air provides relief…

Barred Owl
Kim and I have been hearing this Barred Owl (or one just like it) for years, and I finally spotted him today. He wasn’t 500 feet from our house, just behind us in the trees. It sat there calmly as Jeannie and I made our way through the trail by our home (Jeannie’s favorite place…

Fire in the Sky
The skies above Caribou put on quite a show this morning. When I woke up and caught a glimpse of this out of our bedroom window, I ran straight out of bed, grabbed my drone from the office, and bolted into the driveway — still in my underwear — to capture these photos. In case…

Fall by the River
Here’s a few quick photos I took while Kim and Jeannie and I went for a walk along the river bed this evening. I haven’t taken much time to walk along the river bed this summer. I’ve been busy processing photos, producing videos, building this website, and trying to figure out how to effectively use…

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…

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…

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…

Some Morning Photos
Just trying to keep up the daily(ish) photo habit, guys. Here are a few photos I took the other morning. Jeannie typically wakes me up between 5:30 and 6:00 each morning to go outside and pee and sniff around. I decided to follow her lead and sniff around for things to photograph (and probably pee…
