On The River

As I mentioned here the other day, the publisher of Newburyport’s American Yatch Club’s newsletter had asked permission to use one of my photos for their cover. Here’s the front cover featuring a photo of a dory in front of Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, MA:

The photo featured is one of many I have taken of the dory’s in front of Lowell’s Boat Shop. As it’s one of my favorite subjects to photograph, no doubt there will be more in the months to come. Many thanks to Jim Grenier of Renegade Studios for publishing my photo in the newsletter!

On The River

It’s rainy and gray on the river today and apparently there will be more of that for the next couple of days… There will be no cleaning up the front flower garden until the rain stops.

I’m excited to share that I received a request from a friend today to use one of my photos of a small boat on the river for the newsletter of Newburyport’s American Yatch Club. I’ll have a PDF copy of the newsletter in a few days and will upload that so that readers can see the photo. 

In the meantime I’m waiting patiently as many are for Spring to arrive full force. The last of snow piled up from the snow plow has finally melted down in the back yard and I’m anxious to till the vegetable garden plot and enlarge it from last year’s late planting when I moved into my river view apartment.

For now I’ll just watch the birds here in the back yard and on the river and dream of sunny days to come.

A little local info… The Plum Island River connects the Parker River to the Merrimack River at the mouth of the Merrimack and it separates Plum Island from the mainland. Plum Island is the home of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which is a prime birding location.

Just a short walk from home is this view on the river…

On The River

Yesterday I posted a photo of the Merrimack River taken from Lowell’s Boat Shop on Point Shore in Amesbury, MA. There was a small boat in the foreground of the photo. Here’s a closeup of the boat…

The light from the late afternoon sun created an almost black and white effect reflecting off the river and the first boat in the water at Lowell’s.

Everyday here on the river is a gift… I can’t help but want to share the view!

On The River

I love living on the Merrimack River. As a small child I grew up in West Newbury on Way To The River Rd. The river was a short walk through the woods, down the dirt road that started at our driveway. At age 11, we moved to Moseley Ave in Newburyport, again a short walk from the river. The Merrimack River is in my blood, as is this whole area.

Everyday I look out from my desk and see the river. A short walk down the street and the view, more spectacular…

I love living on the river…

Perspective

Every now and then it’s good stop and look at the perspective of your surroundings…
