First Day Of Summer Photo Of My Yard

Dodging my sprinklers, I ran behind the bench and looked up spotting this view. I ran inside to retrieve my camera so I could capture this shot...I might add staying dry in the process.

Feeding Wildlife Concern and Information

A man feeding the fox, was sitting on the ground to left about 3 feet from the fox feeding and photographing.

New Hampshire and surrounding New England states, if you are lucky, you can view wildlife and enjoy wildlife. My favorites are moose, deer, bear and other beautiful animals live and run free in our area. I live in New Hampshire, I love viewing and photographing wildlife and birds but respect my distance, reading and educating myself about their habits and etc.

Please read this link to educate yourself hikeSafe - Wildlife Fact & Fiction I am posting this information out of concern after I viewed a man sitting on the ground about 3 to 5 ft from a fox feeding and taking pictures as he threw out food trying keep the fox close for pictures yesterday. Something could have frighten the fox and in an instant could have turned on the man who was feeding him. Tourist enjoy our wildlife but with a safe respect.

See you in New Hampshire, you will love visiting our state as you can see reading my blog!!!

17th Fields of Lupine Festival, Sugar Hill, NH 2010

David Dodge Fine Arts and Graphic Designer, allowed me to take his image while painting the lupine. Check out his beautiful site Dave Dodge Fine Art




One of my favorite events to photograph 17th Annual Fields of Lupine Festival, June 4-20, 2010.This the Lupines are really putting on a great show.
I am always trying to out do myself with new pictures each year, as I learn more about photography. Experimenting with new lens and a new camera, my Canon 7D is always interesting seeing the results.
To see my series of the Lupines, you can check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/bpdphotos/sets/72157624117311477/

Important Words From Tom Golaback

Tom was a close friend to my children and to us.

"Melanoma cut Tom's life so short. At his funeral mass today, Tom's brother Mike made wonderful euology and the most important message at the end of the euology was that Tom asked Mike to make sure all his friends and family took the time to check any changes in markings on their bodies, have annual skin scans (which take about 10 minutes) by their dermatologists and to wear sun screen. In honoring one of Tom's last wishes I am passing his and Mike's message on to all of you and hope you pass it on to everyone your care for. Rest in peace Tom; you will always be in our hearts."

Posted by Frank Pinto spreading Tom's request to have annual check ups and use sun screen protection. Please spread the word in Tom's memory, thank you from Tom's family and friends who loved him and will miss him.

Funny I have passed this mill quite often, visiting our daughter and son in law in Connecticut and never really looked at the potential photographical benefit. Collin's Company, Farmington River.

I had a problem locating myself for decent shot. When I return I am going to give it try shooting from the bridge.
