Here in Maine, there is an extensive network of ATV trails throughout most of the state. ATV riders can take advantage of multi-use and multi-use rail-trails that run through diverse and scenic areas. You never know what you will see while traveling these trails, such as beautiful and seasonal scenery and wildlife. Perhaps, even a […]

We set out for the day with nowhere in particular in mind as a destination. Our go-to driving trips usually entail heading up north on Route 27. We didn’t know where the day would take us, but with my camera, a selection of lenses and tripod in tow, I knew I wanted a chance at […]

While visiting Bangor, we decided to go the Orono Bog Boardwalk in the Bangor City Forest. This was our first time visiting this area of Bangor and we didn’t know what to expect.

We made plans for our annual blackberry picking outing, but it seems Mother Nature had other plans for us.

It ended up being a partly sunny day with some wind […]

You may have been wondering where I have been…or not. I recently took a trip out to Las Vegas, Nevada for business, with a small amount of pleasure mixed in as well. I stayed at the Suncoast and Casino located on Alta Drive. From Suncoast, you can take in the breathtaking views of the mountains, […]

Maine takes the production of maple syrup very seriously and this event gives Maine’s maple syrup producers the opportunity to showcase their maple syrup products. Maine Maple Sunday is always held on the […]

On Monday morning we woke up to a beautiful sunshine-filled day and we decided to go for a hike in the snow. We decided to head up to our go-to place, Maine Huts & Trails in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. We haven’t been up there since November to take photographs of Poplar Stream Falls and hike […]
