Motif #1 is a fishing shack located in Rockport, Massachusetts.  However, its fame is worldwide.  It's probably the most painted/photographed fishing shack in the world.  It's also a movie star.  In the Disney movie "Finding Nemo" there is a painting of the shack in the dentist's office.  The shack also appears in the movie "The Proposal" but it has a sign that says "Sitka, Alaska" along with a sign of an orca.

 

This is a digital painting representation of a photo that I took of Motif #1.  The scene really represents life along the New England coast....fishing boats and lobster buoys.  MMMMM lobster.

It had been awhile since I have been able to get out with my camera and get some nature shots.  With the long weekend I decided to take advantage of an early morning and head to Mount Monadnock in Jaffrey, New Hampshire.  I arrived a little after 5am to get the sunrise hitting the mountainside.  The view with Gilson Pond in the foreground is beautiful, but there were no reflections today due to a small breeze causing ripples on the water.

 

For those who haven't heard of Mount Monadnock, it's one of the most climbed mountains in the world.  It's not a huge mountain, only 3,165 feet above sea level, but it has many great trails along with views to all of the New England states.

The month of June is a great time to see fields of lupines in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  Some of the scenes are amazing landscapes with flowers in the foreground and the mountains in the background.  If you prefer getting up close and personal with the flowers, you'll have your choice of flowers to pick from too.

 

This is a digital painting representation of lupines up close from a photo that I took.  The day wasn't the best for one of the sweeping landscape shots so I got down close to the flowers.

When I was in high school I really wanted to live in Manhattan.  I thought it would be great to have some sort of business related job in the big city, getting to see all of the lights of Times Square, and never running out of things to do in the "city that never sleeps".  My how things have changed.  I have no interest in that lifestyle these days.

 

I have a great home in a wonderful neighborhood.  I'm fortunate enough to have a nice sized lot with woods out back.  In fact, some of my wife's family tell us that we live in the sticks.  I'm not exactly in the country, but it's far from being Manhattan...and I love it that way.

 

Over the past week I've been outside doing yardwork and noticed some wildflowers growing in the brush, underneath some trees.  Well, one of the pictures is definitely a wildflower.  The first photo is of a Pink Lady Slipper.  We have several of these growing on our property.  I'm not so sure of the name of the flowers in the second photo.  For all I know, they might be part of a flowering weed.  Even so, they sure do look nice.

 

 

 

While you might be able to find some wildflowers somewhere in Manhattan, I'm fortunate enough to have these as my backyard beauties.

 

Until next time.
