First Sailboat in the Harbor

On April 25th, I headed out to Crocker Park to capture the pink moon rising over the harbor.  On the way, I had stopped to capture a beautiful cherry blossom on Mugford street (posting that one tomorrow) and I still arrived a bit early.  Though the sunset was fairly muted with the lack of interesting clouds, the novelty of a single sailboat in the harbor convinced me to grab this image.

I do like the reflected light off the houses that line Chandler Hovey Park.  Just wish the lighthouse had been lit at the time…

Frostbite Sailing in Marblehead Harbor

My best friend from college came to visit this weekend and on Sunday we decided to head out with my kids to Crocker Park.  I hadn’t photographed my kids in weeks so I grabbed the camera thinking I would get a few nice shots of them outside.  We couldn’t ask for better conditions as the sun kept breaking through the clouds and warming us up.  The kids climbed the rocks and I tried to capture their enthusiasm.  It wasn’t long though before I noticed that frostbite sailing (or ‘frostbiting’) was taking place in the harbor.

With the harbor still fairly […]

Fall Regatta at Redds Pond

model boat regatta

Yesterday, I drove around town looking for hints of Fall foliage.  I hit all of my favorite trees from last year and found that many were still in the early stages of turning.  As I drove up Pond Street, I happened upon a great regatta taking place at Redds Pond.  I decided this was too great a scene to pass up.  I set up for a view to include the backdrop of the house across the […]
