Along the rocky coves near Five Islands, Maine, calm waters and bright sunlight reflecting off the still surface created a shimmering scene around a lone moored lobster boat. In many of these coves along the coast, the view naturally lends itself to a simple black-and-white photograph.

You can almost hear the canvas rustling in the sunset breeze. A full sail and its lines fill the frame in this shot from a tall ship gliding past the many coves and bays along the coast. Adding this one into my next canvas prints coming this fall season.

Another view from our wanderings through Gettysburg. Early mornings or late afternoons offer wonderful opportunities to blend color and saturation into the still moments that embody the quiet respect for those who fought and died on the fields there.
