This is my favorite formula for outside photography. Overcast,which acts like a natural diffuser and calm where nothing stirs and usually the water is like glass.

    The weather pulled another flip flop on us. It was so pleasant and warmer today. But my favorite was the absence of wind. With the slightly overcast sky, everywhere I looked was ready for a photo. After being around beaches so much, I seemed to look for structures and buildings.

    Once was not enough. I had to visit one of my favorite places again today. With not a soul around I enjoyed the view. Later the East Chop Lighthouse and the Martha's Vineyard Hospital caught my eyes.

    My first day off was just plain cold. I really needed to just go out and enjoy the day so I bundled up and tried to stay warm. If you can imagine what it might be like at the open field at the Gay Head look out. There was a harsh and strong wind blowing in from the ocean. I could even feel some sand being blown all this distance. The sky was bright, with the clouds lining up in patterns as they traveled over head.

    The weather once again was unseasonably warm on my days off. Because of this I just took my time and went slow and easy.

    The ferry coming straight into the harbor this afternoon.

    I always enjoy discovering a nice image for my camera lens,especially when I have no real destinations in mind. Today there was a nice northern harrier cruising the fields at katama airfield and the steamship, Island Home, cruising through vineyard sound heading to the island.

    Today the sun was high and bright. This caused the afternoon light to be high in contrast and causing deep shadows all around the island.

  While  walking the cold, wind swept shore line of Katama the other day, I came across a poor exotic wash a shore. I wonder how far this little sea horse has traveled and what he has seen.

    Where did all the white stuff go? Monday brought warm temperatures as high as 50 degrees and winter seemed to melt away.
