  • Kayaking on the Lake

    Oh! To be on the water  With the birds And my thoughts For company I took this down by the lakefront in Belmont yesterday afternoon. It was a little windy and the kayakers were a little hesitant getting in but soon were on their way and looked more comfortable once on the lake. I snapped…

  • A Group of Seagulls

    Oh! To see the worldLike a bird, from high aboveAnd be truly free I took this down by the lakefront in Belmont yesterday afternoon. I had lunch down there and the seagulls left me alone for the most part, which was a nice surprise. I wasn’t originally planning to do this in black and white…

  • Dusk on the Lake

    I was in Belmont for a few days last week and went for a nice walk along the lake a couple of evenings ago. The sun had almost finished setting and there was a beautiful dusk light that was perfect for photos. I was deliberately trying to play with silhouettes and patterns with the photos.…
