Spring Comes to Hammond Park

Repeat after me 'Two More Months'... I don't know about you but this Winter is feeling very loooong after the weekend snow storm following a blizzard. There was no way I was posting a snow photo today so I went back to the archive and found this photo taken on April 14, 2012. You can't beat the view from Hammond Park when the trees start to bloom and a race takes place in the still empty harbor. This was the first photo I captured when I raced to this spot last April. I shared another version with a closer view [...]

Welcome to the Town of Marblehead (Spring version)

Back to a Spring photo to brighten up the past few dreary days. In mid-April, I noticed that the cherry blossom tree on the corner of Pleasant and Maple streets had reached full bloom. I had photographed the Welcome to the Town of Marblehead sign before highlighting the anchor in the foreground and the flowering bush on the right. I decided to use the cherry blossom as a background with this image. What should have taken mere minutes ended up with me standing in the middle of the crosswalk (at the barrier) for over 30 minutes waiting for the right [...]

A Spring Sail for the Jackson Cup

On April 14th, the Boston Yacht Club hosted the 14th annual invitational Jackson Cup regatta. It was a beautiful Spring day and I couldn't pass up the chance to shoot the colorful sails in an empty harbor so I biked down to find a good vantage point. My first stop was Hammond Park (which will soon play a major role in the Marine Aviation Centennial). I caught the trees at just the right time and quickly composed a photo to highlight the boats passing the lighthouse inside our harbor with a perfect example of Spring's beauty. Enjoy this image on [...]

Spring Comes to Marblehead

Having lived in DC for some time, Spring and cherry blossoms will forever go hand-in-hand. It was with that in mind that I sought cherry blossoms throughout Marblehead over the past week. I was fortunate to find the tree above at peak bloom while walking down Washington Street on a foggy day. Below are shots taken under better conditions featuring more cherry blossoms with Abbot Hall and the Lee Mansion as backdrops.
