Seal

Portland harbor is home to this seal. And apparently this seal usually is accompanied by another seal (which i didin't see). A man walking by saw me taking pictures of the seal and told me that the seals visit every day around high tide. They have been doing so for about two years.  He said that they come in because this is one of the sewer discharge areas.

Shrimp Cocktail

Augusta Country Club serves up some shrimp cocktail over the holidays.

Gabbi

Gabbi, the Hopkins Flowers mascot and spokeskitty.She is a Pisces and loves to sleep in boxes. Go and see Gabbi. She is the worlds friendliest cat. I just wish her and Tonka didn't get off on the wrong foot.

Snow Falls

I was at Snow Falls last year hoping to get a nice shot of the falls, which has carved its way through rock making a really interesting gorge.  But then the sun came bursting out of the clouds and suddenly, it was the brightest day in history. Anywho, I was walking along and found this scene which I thought was really interesting. I ended up losing my tripod screw that day.

Colonia del Sacremento, Uruguay

Colonia del Sacremento is the oldest city in Uruguay. It is a wonderful historical city located right on the Rio de la Plata. Consequently, it is very much a tourist attraction. La pescado en Uruguay es muy bien. Me gusta la comida mucho. In 2009 when I was there the exchange was 6-1 peso to dollar. But prices still remained relatively expensive in this city.

Sunrise at Cutler

Cutler is amazing. It has to be some of the most rugged coastline in Maine. We camped out on the rocks the night before this picture was taken and listened to waves smash against the wall of rock all around. It was great to watch the sunrise from one of the eastern most points in the U.S.

Cayman Islands

Another day in the Cayman Islands. Gin and Tonic, made special every morning.
