Cliche…

DavisPhotog

An incredible photographer, Ed Cooley, once told me that on every location shoot he goes on, whether Paris, Rome, or Portland Maine, he always takes the “Cliche” shots first.  “Just get em out of the way because you’ve got to take em.  Then you can look for angles and lighting that lend more towards your own style or mood that day.”  So here is my “Cliche” take on Portland Head Light, the most photographed spot in Maine, with my spin on it.  Hopefully the first shot gives a classic feeling making the viewer unsure of what era it was shot in, and the second should elude to the amount of tourism, and or voyeurism, at this gorgeous location.  I’ve also added an image of a bird perched on a chain link fence next to its manufactured home.  Birding is a large past time and draw for tourists up…

That’s a big boat!

Walking to the grocery store the other day I couldn’t help but notice someone had parked their rather large boat down by my favorite watering hole, J’s Oyster.  Now with my dad having been in the Navy for 20 years I’ve seen a good number boats, but this one dwarfs them all for sure.  Upon further investigation, this gal’s name is Glory. She’s 14 stories tall and houses about 3000 people for 7 days at a time.  Carnival Glory departs from NYC and cruises to Boston, Portland, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, then makes it’s way back to the Big Apple.

What a Crappy Miracle!!

These are amazing photos!

Let’s just say that the day I was pooped on by a seagull was not my favorite. (If you’re lost, give the last post a read and check out the July 6th post while you’re at it, that should get you up to speed)  Now, last night I went to bed pretty early for a spicy 30 something on a Saturday night, but I wanted to be fresh for my baseball game this morning in OOB.  Yup, ten o’clock came pretty quick and my eyes fought BPFS (Bird Poop Fatigue Syndrome, it’s a thing) as hard as they could.  Sadly, they were overcome, and my spry and equally spicy wife, funneled me to bed while she continued to read and blog.  So, here is where my timing gets a little fuzzy.  It was definitely after my Godzilla dream, (watched a bit of that in the afternoon), and before…

Crappy Day!!!!

This is too funny! I wouldn’t have believed it if I wouldn’t had seen it with my own eyes!

For the most part I try to stay positive, but today was truly crappy.  Well, to be honest it was only a crappy morning.  Or really, just a crappy moment this morning.  The day actually started just fine.  Sun came up, I hopped out of bed, watched some news, drank some coffee; all in all, normal.  It was when I decided we would go have brunch at a fairly famous local dive frequented by Guy Fieri, of Food Networks, “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”.  Now, Becky’s Diner was wonderful and classic in every way.  It wasn’t brunch that titled this blog post.  No, no… It was what happened right before we approached the parking lot of the diner.  It was at the corner of Commercial and Park where the incident occurred.  I was in the driver seat, window down, and music at a reasonable level. Holly sat in the passenger…

Title: Crap I Want To Say

My friends from back home have been on me to begin a blog and document this strange and crazy adventure.  Unfortunately, navigating this blog for the last two days, trying to decide on themes, fonts, headers, etc, etc, etc. has left me more than a little weary and in the absence of poetic verbage to describe the events of the last 3 weeks.  Therefore, this is what you’re getting at my first attempt at a whimsical blog.  BTW, my husband inspired the “title.”  And they will get better (fingers crossed).  Yah welcome.
