60 A blue heron in flight at the fish hatchery. I usually feel fine about taking pictures of these heron because all the fish at the hatchery keep them happy and fed all the time. Also, there are so many people that come to the hatchery, fishing or walking through, often with their dogs, so I assume they are used to us. But I've been worried about the heron and their diminishing numbers. I've wondered if they've had to defend themselves against the Eagles or the Osprey. This is the first time I've seen a heron with so many missing feathers - the signs perhaps, of a fight. When I saw that, I stopped taking pictures. I stopped walking toward the trees where they were resting. I wanted to leave them in peace.

You'll see a picture of grasses below. This picture is the same one, only with just the heads of the grasses picked out. I like the purple color of the grasses that I might not have noticed in the mix with everything else. I like it that such small things can be as elegant and beautiful as anything else. I love it that nature doesn't measure out its bounty. It doesn't look for anyone to notice. It makes the beauty anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1436034662988-L1KMP6IXOJGKJ4EXLL3K/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 60 Early evening and light fog in Rodman's Hollow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1436033290031-OK65MUDCTNWV32B1U4TE/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 60 Here's the whole picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1436034762341-HZEKLP096M9EMIADGP7N/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 60 The Hollow and the dimming light beginning to glow in the fog.

I liked how the cormorants lined up in formation. They only did so, west of the Boat Basin dock where I was standing. There were none on the corresponding piers on the east side of the dock. That soft grey smudge on the horizon is Champlin's Marina. These piers will anchor the floating docks that I'm sure are going in any day now, and soon they'll be a few more boats, oh, like a hundred more boats in this marina. That is, if the fog lets up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1431465688076-RUFMWFF3QP1M5UJ79OC3/image-asset.png Blog - Big Picture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1431439755575-W3WUSBVQNVLSPP4BF3QK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Big Picture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1431439920499-OXQ60F23GKGNPO8EQZ5A/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Big Picture Have you ever wondered what fog looks like when you take its picture with an $11,000 lens?

And the spring floods came, I'm guessing, to the Connecticut River, and this tree trunk floated on the currents and tides across Long Island and Block Island Sounds.

Growing up in the country, I could take for granted the freedom of the land - the room to breathe as one field opened into another, the trust that life would reach and tangle into every place where there was space and light to do so, the peace and discovery of the deep forest. Stan has been opening paths into their woods, so we've been able to get back in there. The skiing will help us extend our winter range into the fields as well.

This was after I finished swimming. I was still wet, carrying my fins and snorkel and other gear back to the car, with my dogs jumping around me. I had to shoot quickly, as the light was changing very fast. I was gingerly balancing the camera, holding it away from me to keep it from getting sandy and salty. I liked the patterns made by the sand with the outgoing tide, and I also like the touches of smooth light. I had the telephoto on the camera when I really could have used the wide angle lens. I didn't have time to do anything about it and had to improvise. This is actually six pictures stitched together in Photoshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1414008601771-9YOV3G5L7K2JTNRSF647/141021_0754+1+blog.jpg Blog - A Little Swim It's an aspiration of mine... to get the perfect picture of almost nothing but coppery, smooth, atmospheric light. I love Egrets and Heron in any case, their great elegance, their primordial ways. You know birds are from dinosaur days, correct? So maybe if there was a sky like this and a bird like this, this could have been back in the day. I mean, actually back in the day. https://aphotographersday.com/blog/2014/10/12/seasonal-migration monthly 0.5 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1413213316038-VAWRBI59SMJP4ORUW187/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Seasonal Migration The commitment to the dive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1413145901654-VE0EGD4P0NVU410QISH4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Seasonal Migration And very beautiful seagulls in flight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1413145737504-CLSF4S55OUB3GKV5OEPY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Seasonal Migration See the blue heron in the fog?

What happens is you see it on the screen when it's back lit and then when you print on mat paper it's darker. So you have to account for that. The folks at Pro Digital Gear (see below) are suggesting I buy a calibrated monitor, where what I see here on the screen would be much closer to the actual print. I'm tempted. It would save a lot of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1409590448521-LDMX6TH7FE031BPHIYJR/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Heart of a Place I made this one really big, and as you can see, if there is the tiniest little spot in all that expanse of flat calm water there is no place to hide.

What a surprise. But have also have many others. I should tell you that I actually desaturated this picture from what you saw before, taking it half way to black and white. While the actual colors at sunset were more vibrant, I liked the softer colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1409589851398-R1SIXBK350XCC8QVBY44/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Heart of a Place This is one of the small ones, only six inches square. It's hard to give you a sense of scale, here in the blog, because some pictures change completely if you change their size.

The Gallery opened yesterday. And I've sort of hit a wall. I've declared tomorrow an official Sabbath.... (these come on me suddenly in my tradition... when I can't do one more thing... when I feel I'm a danger to myself and others... when I can no longer finish a thought and when I bump into door posts as I did yesterday at the Gallery, I declare a day of rest). So. No Gallery... no getting the house ready for rental... no big photo projects... no emails... no web browsing. I need this rest. I really, really do. But I didn't want to let any more time go by before giving you a weekly posting. So here I am on my Sabbath-eve and I'm looking through my photos for something to show you. If I could pick one or two things from all the pictures, something simple and brief and nice, what would it be? So I decided on these pictures. These are pictures I took with a tripod. I took them as the light was fading and also later, in real darkness. I made the exposure long enough to collect the light that was there. It collected light I couldn't even see. These time exposures play with my head a little bit around the whole question of time. The picture above was taken in late dusk. The shutter speed was 8/10ths of a second. You can see the wave starting to get blurry around the edges. The picture below was taken about a half an hour later. That was in real darkness. (It's amazing when doing this kind of photography, what a difference a few minutes can make. It changes second by second.) The shutter speed for this picture was 25 seconds. Way longer. And look what happened to the waves. In the first picture you can still discern the form of the wave, but not in the second picture. Waves came in and out again and again, each leaving a trace on the sensor, but nothing defined. All the waves accumulated into the ghostly, smoky, richly colored nothing you see in this picture. And of course the stones were there the whole time, substantial and solid, with nothing to do and all the time in the world. I like this a lot without having too good of a reason... the idea that perception of the passage of time might be optional... that we might experience time at a certain pace and that another creature... say a bacteria or even a little insect that only lives for a day might feel like she has lots and lots of time. Maybe there are creatures who know time and see the world the way the camera captured the waves in this picture. I'm not a very good rester. I'm sure my mind will conjure some emergency or some new hobby such as learning a foreign language to try to get me back into my comfort zone of zooming around. I've done this before, declared a Sabbath and decided to start it after finishing just one more thing. So then a Sabbath turns into a half an hour sitting on the beach just before making dinner. But I really need this time and I'm determined. And the tourists who have suddenly arrived and are already walking in the middle of the road will be much safer if I get some rest. So this is a public service. I've already decided and now I'm telling you. I might live on a different time scale tomorrow with nothing to think of, nothing to solve, nothing to start or finish, and plenty of time. If that's too difficult I'll watch my favorite movie. Apollo 13 or possibly Star Trek into Darkness. The sun is setting in a few minutes. There is a cap of clouds over the island. The sky is clear at the east horizon, and the sky is light pink or melon... similar to the color on the water in the picture above. The ocean is turning into deeper and deeper blue. It's beginning to get that wonderful indigo color. It is soft in the west... nothing fancy. Sometimes the softest colors are beautiful too... just shade of grey, with faint touches of pink and traces where it's glowing in the color of pearls. Oh, but now the sun has dropped under the clouds and it's like a burning coal on the horizon, and it's beginning to bring fire underneath, and now that's spreading. Maybe it will light the whole sky like it does sometimes, but now I don't think so... it's darkening, deepening, more purple now. It's going. Maybe in a world that's made like this I don't have to do everything all the time. Maybe the world will turn without my opinions or directions. Sabbath is starting now.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1400974633402-H12Z06YP3JPOUXE2MD1Q/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Time Study https://aphotographersday.com/blog/2014/5/14/elvas-trees monthly 0.5 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1400080758521-IRFG82HZIZQGUDSPW0EK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Elva's Trees Tree growing in the marshes of the James River, near Williamsburg, VA.

Oakland Forest is an old growth forest of American Beech Trees in Middletown, RI. I went to visit when my brother Nick and I went to Newport for this 60th birthday. The forest was purchased and preserved in 2000. It's small and kind of scrubbly actually, but it's the only old growth forest in Rhode Island. People worked very hard to save it. Some of the trees are 300 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1400078700962-EJJEP24MTYNSFB0O83RC/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Elva's Trees A tree on my sister Amy and brother-in-law Stan's farm.

I believe that people actually have to shape these trees by hand. They have to climb up there and cut them. (Don't ask me how they keep track of what they are doing. I don't think I could do that.) That turns them into story-book trees. https://aphotographersday.com/blog/2014/5/9/energy-management monthly 0.5 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1399641531481-72YO7YJEGNP6B64NBLAF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Energy Management In winter, on Great Salt Pond, it's a little less busy than it's about to get immediately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1399640864432-9ZIM6PETQHL0L61HHTTD/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Energy Management North LIght https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1399641279162-VRRCTLDPPMLSH3GVRA1C/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Energy Management Not much effort.

There was at least some light from the side and the much less contrast, so I was able to get a very good rendition of the feathers on his back.

Here is one of the pictures from the book, called "Cathy's Wave". It's named for my sister. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397755211776-DOBAJ3PQRUC15YZR5OKL/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Block Island Poetry Project This picture is called "Back Splash." It's also in the book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397754503747-TNPU4OXA35471MCWYMN3/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Block Island Poetry Project This is a puzzle I've been working on all week. I took the color out because I wanted the gulls to blend into the ocean. I'm not really satisfied yet. I want to convey a feeling about birds and waves coming from the same wind. I want them to look like each other, or to look like they derive from each other, or derive together from the same source. There are many ways to know about this picture. One is to count the birds for tax purposes. There are 18 birds, and X% of that is what? This is just what I need. Another is to write a story about them. Another is to evaluate... it's a little light, the contrast could be greater but then you'd see the birds more clearly and do you want that or not? The wave coming through is "effective" or else it's "distracting." Another way is to know by seeing and just be with it and not put anything else on top of it. That way you can have your experience and I can have mine. It can do what is needed in both of our lives, and both can be true. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397754972528-FTRDG4W027DZ99MV7VG6/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Block Island Poetry Project This is another picture from the book, called "Amy's Wave". It's for another sister. The only sister left without a wave is Mary, and she's out in Colorado. Perhaps she can visit and we'll find a wave together, or if I go there it might have to be a mountain: "Mary's Mountain." That would be fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397755022241-AQXMCLRXKHE0LQYSIT1T/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Block Island Poetry Project https://aphotographersday.com/blog/2014/4/10/lucky monthly 0.5 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397146316740-E26LNSQZI66PV4G7MDD0/140408_7854+1+blog.jpg Blog - Lucky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397146216155-5X53I5W3Y88T3PLQCS6G/140409_7601+1+blog.jpg Blog - Lucky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397147055253-466P9RUE7KU6923NL3IC/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Lucky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397146181757-F9S11ABX8MD7IACY6SQL/140409_7788+1+blog.jpg Blog - Lucky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397148895345-XTHPOKCD7W14ISSHKEKK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Lucky The wind had blown the fog into vertical streams that caught the setting sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397146518939-9EDYB7CFB0VEP33G2017/140409_7782+1+blog.jpg Blog - Lucky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1397146360067-F9I4AYED8LJZ1OZ391MB/image-asset.png Blog - Lucky https://aphotographersday.com/blog/2014/4/3/nantucket monthly 0.5 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1396536227488-W00SSV5RD859O6S7MT68/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Nantucket When I came home and told Malcolm Greenaway about the egret, he said, "Then why aren't they here on Block Island?

I took it on Block Island, in February before he died in April. It was very cold and the wind was blowing, blasting me with sand. It was on this walk that I gave up fighting for my father's life. He was in a coma in March and I flew down to Florida and got to the hospital at midnight. I was told that he wouldn't live out the night. I walked into his room and said, "Dad, I've got pictures." He woke up. He said, "Watcha got?" He saw this picture and many others, including many waves and deer.

I think we'd have to have a biologist weigh in here, but I'll just say I've seen them angry and I've seen them alarmed, and their faces seem to match those emotions in a way that I can understand. I've also seen them blissed out and napping on these cozy rocks. They look pretty happy to me. https://aphotographersday.com/blog/2013/12/27/resolution monthly 0.5 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52480600e4b0a4c7037de2b9/1388148927133-HA3NLYGDRO4SVL6PIGO0/Namib_Desert_large.jpg Blog - Resolution Namibian Desert.
