2011-06-03: Fishing Boats

Not much to report on today..Little groggy from staying up wathing NBA and NHL playoffs lately. What a comeback last night by Dallas! And the Bruins are on tomorrow night for game 2 Stanley Cup finals. Better get some sleep tonite.
Wierd but I have been waking up about 4:45 all week Ever since I got up early last weekend to catch the sunrise. So I am exhasuted. Speaking of that early morning at Hampton, I caught this shot of some fishing boats next to Eastman's docks on Rt 1A in Hampton near the bridge. Very peaceful morning.

2011-06-02: Motif #1

Last Sunday, after my failed attempts at getting a sunrise shot, Sue and I took a looong drive down to Rockport, Ma. I had been there many years ago, but now with camera always in tow, I wanted to get a shot of Motif #1. The old fishing shack that is the #1 most photographed building in the world. Of course, when we got there, it was high noon. The sun thought that it would be a great time to finally show up for the day and spoil my shots. As we all know, noon on a sunny day is the worst time for shots. Right? Right! But Sue and I had a great day browsing thru the galleries and gift shops, and getting some seafood for lunch. It turned out to be a perfect day (despite the sun!)

By the way, The Gilford Public Library is hosting our photography clubs' pictures for the month of June. If you're around, you've got to check it out!.

That's all for today folks

2011-06-01: Sun-Kissed?

Project 365: 5 Months down, 7 to go!
So, while I was out for an early morning stroll (5am) at Hampton Beach this weekend, I tried desperately to find some sun. C'MON! No sun at all! Alas, there will be no beautiful sun-rise shots this week. So, as I was grumbling about getting up so early for nothing, I spotted something in the sand, washed up on the beach....

Do you believe it? I couldn't stop laughing when I saw what it was...So yes, there was SUN after all. So to speak...

Have a bright and sunny day
