The 2010 Blue Ox Moose and Fall Foliage Magical Mystery Tours
G’day Mates,
Another fall and my focus shifts once again from fieldwork to desk work and writing. The top of Jay Peak is already white with about 14″ of snow and I suspect that Rob is dusting off his winter wear and digging out his snowshoes even as I’m settling into my garret to work on yet another memoir (while my first continues to make the rounds of the publishers) and to finish the addition to our house. Encouraged, however, by our success last winter in getting one publishable frame of a bobcat (to appear in this winter’s issue of Northern Woodlands magazine) my friend and naturalist, Jeff Parsons, and I will keep our snowshoes and long underwear handy in order to venture out about once a week to set out and check our three game cameras.

G’day Everyone,
It’s late afternoon on October 2 and our small group of Magical Mystery Tour participants are becoming acquainted over cheese and crackers and a little bit of wine provided by our wonderful host, Deb Godin, at the Lakeview Clubhouse in Eden. I glance out the window and notice that the crisp autumn light has mellowed so I muster everyone and we head over to my favorite fall foliage location, Belvidere Pond.

The Basin area of Fraconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire is truly a beautiful place. The Pemigewasset River snakes through the park, creating many small waterfalls, rushing water… and endless compositions. This image was not particularly difficult to capture, the only tricky part was to get the full image (near to far) in good focus at 80mm. Oh, that and also having to wait a while until there was nobody on the bridge…

G’day everyone,
Spend, say, three days in Baxter State Park in Maine, especially in Spring or Fall, and you’re bound to encounter a moose. Though, on any given day, you could beat the bushes from the first glimmer of dawn until the last bit of twilight gutters without ever seeing Alces alces. I know. I’ve done it, as have many people. In fact, I spoke with a couple I met in the park during this year’s tour who told me they paid a professional guide $400.00 for one day to help them find a moose. They eagerly followed the guide to several dozen ponds, wallows, and wetlands throughout the park, in vain. The guide apologized and kept their money.
Read MoreMy Hot Shot – The Basin in Franconia Notch State Park
The Basin at Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire is a beautiful place. So many subjects to shoot, so many different compositions for each subject. I could spend days and days in this one small area.
It was drizzly, cloudy and cold when I took this shot. It was worth the effort, but I certainly appreciated wearing my light gloves and hat…
A strong S-curve. An anchor at the top and another at the bottom. A few strong colors. A simple but elegant composition. Motion and stillness.
