One of my favorite places: a well-crafted stone wall found out in the middle of a local forest. Two hundred years ago, this wall probably marked a cleared field producing agricultural products or supported a dairy herd. It is now a hidden treasure and monument to our past.

Curvature of the birch
One of the legacies of a New England ice storm: permanently arched tree trunks. These birches did not fully recover but, they did not break.

In Maine, if you watch carefully, one can see the leaves changing color in the fall.
Colorless fern
Autumn reds
I judge the quality of the fall seasonal colors from the extent and timing of the reds. Yellows and oranges are abundant and typical.
Bridge needs repair
A good example of our nation’s crumbling infrastructure.

This hairy woodpecker looks as if he is on a leash but this is just an optical illusion.
Bog autumn
The wet spring and summer seems to have pepped up the fall colors this year in central Maine.
