Picket Pause

Have you ever noticed a cardinal’s amazing hairdo? I spotted this female Northern Cardinal landing on an old wooden fence, and her windswept crest immediately grabbed my attention. Here’s the cool part: that fancy crest isn’t just for show—it’s their way of expressing themselves!
Marsh Watcher

While testing out a new long lens in the nearby marsh, I spotted this Song Sparrow perched on a lichen-covered branch. It paused just long enough for a few quiet shots.
Stillwind

Hull Wind I turbine stands tall over the green marsh and Weir River in Hull, Massachusetts. Installed in 2001, it nears the end of its expected 20-year lifespan.
Silence Drifts

A lone fisherman gently trolls in a small boat on the still waters of Damon’s Point in Marshfield, Massachusetts. From where I stood, I could see fish breaking the surface nearby—he clearly appears to be in the right spot.
Glory

Glory, the MBTA’s catamaran-style commuter ferry, moves swiftly through Weymouth’s Back River in the late afternoon light, with the Boston skyline softly visible in the distance. One of several high-speed ferries operated by the MBTA, it offers commuters a scenic and traffic-free ride between Boston and the South Shore.
English Garden at Peace Field

It’s one of multiple points of interest along the Quincy Riverwalk, a scenic 2-mile path that follows the river from Squantum Point Park, passes through Neponset Landing Park, and ends at the gazebo near the…
Across the Way

Captured from Squantum in Quincy, looking north across the bay as golden hour bathes the Boston skyline in a warm glow. Slightly off-center to the left is the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
Charlestown Steel

The USS Cassin Young (DD-793) sits by Dry Dock 1 at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts. The cloudy skies made for a perfect backdrop, emphasizing its cold steel presence and the force it once carried.
Barnside

The red barn at Brookwood Community Farm, set at the foot of the Blue Hills Reservation in Canton, Massachusetts. I don’t often reach for my camera in midday light, but something about the clear sky and sharp lines held stillness in a way I couldn’t pass by. I also took the time to get creative…
