I live in the southern coastal region and don't get many opportunties to travel inland and north. However, when I do I will be bringing along the camera so I can better represent the beauty of the entire state.

If you are thinking of coming here for a visit, email me at jandw@maine.rr.com and I would be happy to give you some insights on what to see from a local viewpoint.

These photographs capture the artful uniqueness of nature and our surroundings

Flowers and garden gifts (121)
I have been a gardener since my mother and grandmothers' first started me off by helping them weed in their wonderful gardens. I haven't met a flower yet that I didn't want to photograph. Here is a sampling of the better ones.

Local doings (59)
Mackworth Island "Fairy Village" created from what nature has left on the island by some very talented people who wish to help the Fairy's with their homes.

Family, friends and pets (121)
Occasionally, I am able to convince family, friends and pets to pose for a photo op.

Western New York (92)
Here are a few photographs from around my hometown/home state. As I return for more visits, I will add more content to the page. It is a very beautiful, yet in many ways, desolate area. I wanted to capture some of the beauty and reality of the landscape. The economy has never been strong there, and some of the buildings you see reflect that.

Birds & Wildlife (50)
Here are some animals that I've been fortunate enough to photograph.

Assorted topics (34)
Since I shoot a wide variety of subjects, I needed to add this "catch all" category.

Memorial to a dear friend (70)
Buddy (aka Philgin Falstaff, Bear, Bud Bud, Mr. Buddy, Buggy) passed over the Rainbow Bridge on July 27, 2009.

He came to live with us in July, 2002 at the ripe old age of 8. He was such a wonderful dog - full of life, ready to go for a walk at the drop of a leash and always ready to greet and play with any other dog or animal that he met. He was a dog's dog for sure.

He and Wanda became friends within days after we adopted them both within 1 day of each other. As the years have gone by, they have become more like brother and sister, as you can see from the photos of them together.

He was my shadow constantly, even in these past few months when his arthritis made it so hard for him to walk. He has left a huge hole in our hearts, softened a little by all of the wonderful times that we shared with our dear boy.

He lived many places before coming find his forever home in Maine. We are grateful to have shared so much with him. Thank you for helping us remember him.
