On the Go Photography

...so, if you're wondering where I've been and missed the announcement that I started a new page, Roamin Gnome Photography... that's where I've been... To see what "The Fab Foursome" are up to, head over to Roamin Gnome Photography (dont forget to like and/or follow)... I added more photos from last night... Hope to watch them grow this spring and be able to add more photos..

The Fab Foursome!

Y'all, I can't even ~ the absolute cuteness! They didn't stray far from the den. We saw a parent (more on that later) walk by and headed out to see if we could see them, and maybe a glimpse of the kits.

Imagine my excitement to not only see mom or dad, but 4 kits! At one point we thought we counted 5. We were situated about 100' away but mom/dad weren't too concerned as they let the kits nosy around the den opening while we were out there. There's more photos coming, but this one, wow just totally melted my heart!

Foxes typically have one litter of pups per year. Red foxes generally produce 4 to 9 pups per litter, and gray foxes usually have 3 to 7 pups. This is the second year at this den. I didn't get to see the kits in person last year, but did see photos. There were 3 kits, but only 2 survived.

I can't wait to see them again!

Winter Solstice Sunrise on Long Sands...

This morning, no plan, no goal, no rushing, just a re-set....

And it was this morning I realized my first Maine coastal trip was over 40 years ago. It wasn't the best trip - stayed in Old Orchard Beach, I had an ungodly toothache the entire weekend, and oddly I haven't been back to visit OOB. Huh, lol! The next year's trip was to Ogunquit, stayed at the Norseman... it was beautiful, but busier than I liked...

Then someone said "have you ever stopped at York? It's a bit quieter..."... And since then, when I land on the Maine coast, home base is York... Just a walk across the parking lot, cross the road, and I can walk the coastline anytime... 7am? Midnight? Yes please... and a 15 min walk to one of my favorite restaurants...

And although I do have one other favorite beach to watch sunrise from... starting this day, this year, off on Long Sands was just what I needed...

Photography, part 2.... In Sept., 2024, I was at Sodus Point Lighthouse, NY, when a friend said "Roaming Gnome", and I loved it...

The Bench

With the leaves dropping and the morning sun shining through, the bench, sitting on the trail's edge, is waiting for a friend to stop by and sit a spell...

Yesterday morning, on my walk on the Marginal Way, Poppa Cardinal dive-bombed me a few times and kept me company the entire walk but would not sit for photos. Momma, on the other hand, was hiding in the shadows and made an appearance for a photo shoot.

Every third or fourth trip to Rachel Carson's Wildlife Preserve, I walk the trail in reverse direction. This morning I did just that. I stopped and chatted with a few trail-walkers, then pulled out the cellphone to see what birds were on the Merlin App. So glad I did! All of a sudden I heard this noise, a slight but caretul treading of fallen leaves. And this beauty appeared. She slowly wandered to the trails edge and walked about 10' with me, well, about 15' in front of me. She sauntered back into the woods, so as I chatted quietly at her, she allowed a few more photos... Still in awe with our visit.

"When you photograph in black and white, you photograph their soul..." ~ T. Grant

Leaves continue to drop and sit a'top still waters, while sunrise lends a hand to morning reflections... Fall's soul...
