Supermoon Risen
More photos taken of the supermoon when I was on vacation in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, earlier this month. If you can, check out tonight’s moonrise.
Supermoon Rising
There are four of them in 2023, with the next one Wednesday night, the second supermoon this month. The last time there were two supermoons in a month was in 2018. The next time will be in 2037. A supermoon is perhaps a misnomer. The moon is the same one we always have, it is […]
Googin’s Rocks 2023 – II
Today some more photos of Googin’s Rocks taken on my first walk along Old Orchard Beach on my summer vacation this year.
Googin’s Rocks 2023 – I
There’s something about them that draws people. Possibly it is the way they break up the smoothness of a seven mile beach. I have written before about the history of Googins Rocks, so I won’t repeat myself. The rocks more or less mark the boundary between the Maine vacation communities of Ocean Park and Old […]
Snake in The Sand
I didn’t have my phone with me at the beach. On vacation I really do decouple from my electronics. So by the time I snapped pictures of this snake the sun had done its work and the sand sculpture was nowhere near as impressive as it had been several hours beforehand. Making one of these […]
Mr. Sandman
I have no artistic talent. My stick-figure drawings don’t even look like stick figures. When I was a child, my attempts at sand castles never caused people on the beach to stop and admire. And rightly so. They were underwhelming at best. Which is why I am impressed when I see people who can look […]
The Sunrise Sequence
I first posted these in August 2015. I try to catch at least one sunrise every year when we visit Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The photos let you see the sun slowly rising over the Atlantic Ocean. Later this month I’ll show some of the several sunrises I watched on this year’s vacation
Fast and Tasty
As I looked at this review from 2015, I had a sinking feeling that was the last time I was at The Clambake. It’s a great place if you have young children, but my friends now all seem to prefer upscale dining. It used to be an inexpensive place to eat, but with inflation such […]
Local Rules
This post is from the Spring of 2016, and I realized today that I still haven’t been back to the Portland waterfront to see if the sign was still there and to ask the questions. I know life is busy, but there’s really no excuse for that. Probably the sign is long gone by now. […]
Another Early Morning
It’s Monday, and what better way to start the week than some early morning beach scenes taken at OId Orchard Beach, Maine. September is almosrt here, sSchool is about to start, and churches are gearing up their fall programs. All of which means the end of Summer. I don’t think any of us wants to […]
