  • 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.…

    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…

    We’re getting quite a bit of smoke from Canadian wildfires today. Here are some shots I took with my drone of the evening sky over Caribou.

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Old Snowblowers

    ,

    We’ve had a couple of old snowblowers (snowthrowers?) that have been rusting away in our yard for many years. Somebody who actually knows something about small engines recently agreed to take them away, so I dragged them out to the driveway for them to pick up. I can’t help but think these machines are too…

  • Caribou Stream

    ,

    I took a few minutes during my lunch break a few days ago to snap some photos of Caribou Stream and the Main Street bridge that goes over it. Caribou Stream crosses Main Street and runs by Water Street, one of the oldest streets in Caribou.
