Spring Peeper // Maine
I usually think of spring peepers as inhabiting wetlands, but this little guy decided to make a visit to one of my garden beds and pose on an unopened flower. So naturally I turned it into a quick little portrait session.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Two different types of #eclipse, almost one year apart, almost the same exact spot. Solar Eclipse 2024 and Lunar Eclipse 2025 photographed from Flagstaff Lake, Maine.

Sunset Behind Katahdin // Maine.
I figure I've spent enough time dreaming about escaping into the wilderness lately, I may as well post an image from one of my favorite Maine wilderness areas to allow you all to do the same.

Love that light!

Semipalmated Sandpiper || Acadia National Park
I photographed this semipalmated sandpiper as the remnants of a hurricane were passing over Acadia a few years ago. It did not look to pleased to be there.

Thank you! It's a super cool spot, great for listening to the waves

Thanks man! I have a few I like from there, one of which ironically is super foggy and you can't see anything beyond the rocks. It's a cool spot!

Thank you so much!

Space Rose | Rosette & Cone Nebulae
Astrophotography has been a really fun challenge for me over the years. It's really cool seeing the details that emerge from seemingly blank space as your skills improve. I know I still have lots to learn, but it's been a great journey so far.

That's amazing! I love how it seems like it's a huge mountainscape at first glance!

Nice capture! Hard to beat Acadia for nightscapes in the east!

Happy Monday! Here's an image of a nice sunset over Eagle Lake in Acadia National Park a few years ago.

Me either! I heard the parents hooting last night!

Whoa, the paraglider is a really cool detail! Amazing scene!

Wow, that buoy looks an awful lot like a seal 😂. Great shot!

Those are some of my favorite conditions too! I could watch it all day

As Above, So Below II // Acadia National Park
Here's an image from a peaceful sunset along the Maine coast last summer. Nothing beats watching the sky light up with the sound of waves below you.

The bears in the foreground are fantastic!

Thanks Joseph! Great to finally be here!

Thank you!

Those rocks are fantastic!

That's amazing! Great capture!

That's awesome, Ed! Wish I'd seen that!
