Wow!! Some mornings are just a lot harder than others to describe!! For this post you will need time…. so grab your favorite beverage, sit back and relax and I’ll try to Show and Tell as best I can!

My plan was to post some previous Cape shots to try and catch up a little but that is not happening today. Instead, I wanted to share this morning’s adventure with you and catch up on Cape shots another time! We are now back in WMass.

Of course each time I head out I have no idea what will unfold… Yesterday was a very overcast, quiet morning…. As I was walking on the beach I came across this guy - I have never seen one of these on the beach before!

This past weekend Lorraine and I spent an absolutely beautiful weekend on Nantucket… everything cooperated… smooth sailing on the ferry back and forth from Hyannis, perfect temps 60-70 all weekend long, miles of empty beaches and miles of conservation trails right out our door… just amazing!

This past Wednesday morning I went out from Herring Cove beach at my usual very early time…. no moon so my headlamp was on! I had told Lorraine the day before my goal was to see a whale

This morning I left the house later than I had wanted to… doesn’t happen often but it does happen… Thankfully, my plan had been to drive to the West End Breakwater and park right there and head out along the beach (it was low tide) and make my way over to set up in front of the Provincetown Inn…

Last Friday I went out to Race Point Beach extremely early to try and catch the crescent moon setting behind the Harbor Life Saving Station from the beach. When I arrived the sky was extremely dark and filled with clouds and no sign of the moon- off I went with my headlamp on.

Thank goodness I always carry two cameras - and on this morning - both tripods!! Two mornings ago I left very early in the hopes of capturing the moonset over the Harbor Lifesaving Station out at Race Point beach. Well… you never know how an outing is going to turn out!

Last night I checked the weather report about 100 times - what else is new? :-). The wind was going to be more than I wanted but everything else seemed to be lining up for great possibilities.

This morning I bundled up and with my headlamp on I headed out on a new path (to me) through the dunes to see what dune shacks and outhouses I could find!

This was the rainiest morning we had in Costa Rica. I was out for hours and saw an amazing amount of gorgeous birds - many of these birds I only saw this one morning in the rain… just incredible!

Here are some shots from Costa Rica… I’ll keep at it and adding as I have time - Hope you enjoy!

I knew someday I would not time my walk back from Race Point Lighthouse correctly…. well, today was that day! I left through Hatches Harbor very early this morning - all bundled up - the “feels like” temp was 17!!

A glorious cold morning sunrise!!!!

Today I wanted to share with you photos of the Purple-throated Mountain-gem - what a gorgeous hummingbird.

We just returned home from an incredible trip to Costa Rica! We stayed in the Bajos del Toro region in the Cloud Forest. This area is about 80 minutes north of the San Jose airport.

Lorraine and I are wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy 2023!

I had an amazing August morning in NH at a new place that I found near Ragged Mountain. This particular morning I waited for the sun to rise next to a gorgeous stand of trees and just hoped some little birds would want to come feed in this area. To my absolute delight…

The following are a few of the birds I photographed late summer in NH….

Here are some of my most recent landscapes from NH and from Truro and PTown…
