Happy Valentine's Day

And now for a real post. It was cold, it was windy, the ice I was looking to take pictures of was mostly melted. :( But I made it out to take some pictures today, finally. It was a long time coming, but it's extremely hard in the winter when the only time I can take pictures, is generally on the weekends. Now that the light is making it's long-awaited comeback, I may have more and more time after work to actually get back into this. So. I walked along the Back Cove Trail today, and here are the results.

Oh wait, before making it that far, I walked Congress St. briefly to see what was going on at monument square..nothing yet, but I did spot another Oprah! So I think that makes 3 so far.




Now most of these will look very similar since I'm posting quite a few and well..the back cove is the back cove. You can only get so many pictures of snow and ice and water.

I'll start with my arrival.




Street lamps





A few randoms




Messing with camera settings.





Many feet have been here.





And some very blue pictures.






That's all for now. Should have more time to mess around with my camera soon..unfortunately mud season isn't generally that pretty! I'll try to think of something..maybe it'll snow again (yes I'm one of the few that wouldn't mind one last snow storm).

Baxter Woods in Portland Maine

Since I didn't have much time to take pictures yesterday, I tried again. Unfortunately it was later in the afternoon and the sun doesn't like to stay out anymore. I was again rushed to take some pictures. These were in Baxter Woods on Forest Avenue in Portland Maine.

Portland Maine in Winter

Walked around town with a friend. We had no particular destination and ended up near the Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum.
