Landscape Photography
The Great Egrets are in full display. The plumage and mating dance is like nothing else I have ever seen.
Each bird does the same ritual moves, but they all have their own moves. Which is probably why I have photographed this hundreds of times.
This image is the primary display of the breeding plumage. Stretching and dancing are also part of the display.
How could a little girl Egret resist.
This is the second set taken early evening in Milo, Maine. We had just enough light left for these photographs.
This is part of the Sebec river as it runs through Milo. Three rivers meet here a little further on. The area is known as Three Rivers.
Two photographs in the early evening. There was nothing planned about this, we were passing through and jumped out of the car.
We were coming from a wedding and had all of our gear in the back. All we did was grab ‘some stuff’ and run around by the river while we had a bit of light.
When we crossed the tracks here we found abandon gas stations. Not unheard of.
It was interesting that the empty gas stations were directly across the street from each other.
At some point there must have been enough traffic to support them. Now, both are empty, as well as the street.
The back porch of an old plantation. Traditional rocking chair of course.
Even today, every front porch in my neighborhood has rockers. It’s a southern thing.
I have had an old rocker like this for over 30 years. But I’m not leaving out on my porch !
Does a series like this make you uncomfortable? My style certainly doesn’t help. But when I take these photographs I am certainly focused on the ‘rust and ruin’.

From a walk around a small town. As usual I choose to use black and white on this type of shot.
Some towns have revitalized their main streets, others are still trying.
Another sign of changing downtown.
Photographed while out exploring.
