A Bit of Magic

Posted on October 18, 2011

Within the quiet pulse of morning

a faint tune hums.

And there,

beneath the burning cloak

of autumn

a fiddler – disguised as shadow,

plays.

I was driving to the dump this morning and noticed something new along the way.  I stopped the car on the way home, got out and what a joyful surprise awaiting me.  I call it a sweet bit of magic, and only 5 minutes from home.

Pirate Rendezvous 2011

Posted on June 12, 2011

A photographers dream is having a whole town turn out in costume, spilling through the streets in splashes of color, donning pirate attire and behaving, well, like pirates!  If anyone was trying to get through Damariscotta, Maine yesterday,  they could have been taken captive by pillaging pirates who take over the town at the annual Pirate Rendezvous.

I almost didn’t make it this year because I had to work, but luckily I got out early and made it for half of the events.  This is why there won’t be the variety of photos I usually get, but I think you’ll get the idea of how much fun it was!

First lets start with a few pirate details.  I decided to edit most of these in color because everything was simply that – colorful!

And then there were the children.  Oh my, the children!  I just love how they become so completely enraptured by the experience.  I know they believe in their heart of hearts that they, too, are pirates.

There were some beautiful ladies roaming as well, all dressed in fabulous costumes.  I just love street photography!

What would Pirate Rendezvous be without pirates, right!  And here they are.  I know, I know, I didn’t get photos of all of you, but I tried!

 

A little music and dancing as well.
