I was off to Brickyard Pond today, with camera, and with no particular subject matter in mind – that is, until a dragonfly stopped by. A drip of sap hanging over a spider web also caught my attention.

Smoke and mirrors…
So I took this photo hoping to capture the reflection of a tree above this very still water. The reflection proved so effective to the point where there’s no discernible reflection. Note to self: throw a small pebble in the water – so it looks more like water.
Eric – Ice Road Trucker
We watched “Ice Road Truckers” the other night (not sure why), but it seemed to inspire Eric, age 8, to start his own trucking company, courtesy of Legos. I thought the shiny hard wood floor, with a little imagination, produced the “ice” effect.
“Alone on a wide, wide sea…”
Okay, so Donna wasn’t THAT alone, nor was it a wide, wide sea. But the setting sun behind her made this photo impossible to pass up.
Up before the dawn
The sun just began to show itself after we left Galilee bound for Westerly – about an hour’s ride one way. Ken had picked me up at the dock at 4:30AM (not a typo). An awesome way to spend a Sunday morning, despite not having any luck with our fly rods. We did see some Striped Bass breaking the surface around Watch Hill, but they weren’t paying any attention to us. But as they say, “a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work.” Both photos were taken with my iPhone.
Sky Rockets in Flight….
I can’t remember the last time we could see the fireworks at Old Mountain Field from our dock. The only downside to the light show was the gnat attack we had to endure. This Fourth of July also marked the first time the kids got their hands on sparklers – at the Vermette’s Fourth of July picnic and again at the beach house – thanks to Mrs. Cullinan (Nana’s friend). The shot below was taken from the dock using a 300mm lens.
