Falling over mushrooms: What’s in your backyard?
While I didn’t come upon a blue hookah smoking caterpillar on any of the mushrooms at Knickercane Park last week, I did discover a wide variety of mushrooms. It seems this year there’s an abundance of them popping up everywhere, more so than usual, and not just here in the Boothbay region. I met a...

A Gull Hidden in Plain Sight
We know. “Enough already with all the gulls ,” is what you’re probably saying. But we can’t help it, we find them fascinating.

October is Photographer Appreciation Month and on this day, Tuesday, Oct. 16 -- National Boss's Day -- I would like to thank and reminisce a bit about the wonderful photographers whom I've worked with over the years. With some, I was their boss, with others, they just cranked out great photos,...

Duck
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, there's still a chance that it's not. Every season requires a little adjustment. So sometimes I take a reconnaissance run around the region to get caught up on where the sun is when, and what is getting the light and where. This...

Hold the eggs this Halloween. Not just the ones no one should be throwing around, but the ones usually on the ground, at Wiscasset's Raven Egg Hunt.
