Clam Bake

This is a New England clam bake; a traditional way of cooking seafood. The food photographed here is  is lobster, steamers, sausage, potatoes and corn.  The first step to cooking this meal is creating a fire  and having it burn on top of rocks until they become scolding hot. After that the ashes are removed and fresh seaweed is placed on top. Following that the potatoes, corn, sausage, steamers and lobster are placed and ready to be cooked. There is a large canvas top spread over top of the food to keep the steam in and cook the food. Once finished everything is removed and ready to be eaten. 

Clouds

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

The lonely boat

Think salty air, sand between your toes, crashing waves, seagulls flying above, and kids building sandcastles: this is summer on Cape Cod. People come from around the world to visit this sandy peninsula which is surrounded by sparkling water, wildlife and some of the freshest seafood imaginable. The Cape has many harbors where you can find fishermen unloading their catch from the day, spectators admiring the boats, and families and friends enjoying a beautiful day of boating. Although the Cape is visited mainly in the summertime, you can still find plenty of things to do and see year round. This photograph is of a small row boat hidden behind the swaying sea grass along the coast of Orleans. The lonely boat gently rocked back and forth with every passing wave and chilly winter breeze. 

Autumn

One of the things I miss about living in New England is the change in seasons. The East coast leaves transform from a vibrant green to a range of vibrant rich hues of reds, oranges, yellows and browns in the autumn months. New England is one of the best place to see these brilliant colors come alive from September to November. This photograph was taken in Kinnelon, New Jersey while visiting family last fall.
