I made it out to the coast this evening and was treated to a wonderful sunset. It was low tide, and I felt that this barnacle-encrusted rock would make for a good foreground subject. Photographed on January 9, 2009.
I liked the way the moon looked against the twilight sky. Even with a 500mm lens, I still had to crop the image significantly to get this composition. Photographed on January 3, 2009.
The fields around the local wildlife refuge tend to flood in winter…part of what makes it a good haven for birds. After the recent bouts of snow and rain, the water was particularly high and I wanted to take advantage of the reflections from the sunset. Here I’ve included the reflection of the fence as well.

I really like redwing blackbirds. The light could be better here, but I still thought it was a pleasant photo. Hopefully I can work with them again at this same location and make some stronger images. Photographed on January 3, 2009.
It’s a little unusual, but I liked this close-up detail of a dog’s paw. Photographed on January 3, 2009.
Here’s one of the dogs resting on the couch. With her eyes shining out from the darkness, I can’t help but think of some wild animal

Here I’ve tried to use the bare branches of these trees to frame the stars. The bright cluster of stars just to the right of center is Ursa Minor (aka the Little Dipper constellation). Photographed on December 25, 2008.
Here’s a little winter scene from Maine. I’d prefer if that power line wasn’t in the bottom left corner, but I still like the overall image. Photographed on December 25, 2008.
Okay, it’s not a nature photo, but I’m still playing with that 24mm f/1.4 lens. I just liked this little vignette of chocolate coins on the Christmas dinner table. Photographed on December 25, 2008.
We have forced-air electric heaters in our house, and one of our dogs just loves to sleep right in front of them. Here she is settling down for the night. Photographed on December 19, 2008.
