Witness
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to lie on my back and watch the sky change. The soft, warm grass adds its scent to the experience. A passerby might conclude that I am doing nothing. But I am a witness to the eternal now, marking the change in the world. Click on the image for a larger view.
Peaches, 2017
Our Red Haven peaches are doing well in spite of the fact we did not spray them this year. The fruit is not large, but these small tress produce an abundant crop. Click on the image for a larger view.
Forest Fern
Last evening I took a walk through our forest. The last rays of sunlight were still penetrating the forest canopy, at least for just a minute or two. Click on the image for a larger view.
Islands of Light, Islands of Life
In visible light, seaweed is dark, like the rock it inhabits. But in the near infrared, seaweed appears white. Water absorbs that same infrared, making the rocks and islands above its surface glow. Click on the image for a larger view.

Pioneers
We have a line our young beach and birch trees that are pioneering our field. When we first moved to Maine, our field had been kept cut. We stopped that practice. One benefit was the blackberry briers that sprouted. The other was to watch the forest reclaim the land. This image was taken in the near infrared, which gives the foliage its radiant appearance.

This is the forest at the edge of our field in the near infrared. Here are the same trees in May in natural light. Click on the image for a larger view.
