Looking back on last summer, it seems that I spent much of my time
working on the planning and finishing
of my new studio, on my daughter’s wonderful wedding celebration and other
projects which kept me away from photographic explorations of summer in New
England.
It seemed that my camera seldom left its bag, but, as I reviewed my images in Lightroom for June through August I found that I had, somehow, captured 4,117 images. I must have been shooting something, and as I paged through the images that had not made it to a blog or Facebook posting, I found many that begged to be brought to life.
It appears that I have been shooting,
but it is interesting to see how my number of shots tailed off as I became
increasingly consumed by studio and wedding priorities. 2187 images in June and only 570 in
August. The discrepancy is at least
partially explained by a couple of photographically intense trips in June,
Newport Rhode Island and Lake Morey Vermont.

As I struggle to get though my weekly
blogs, I always regret that I can’t publish all of the pictures that I have
captured for each topic. As I look back
through my archives there are many images that pop out. They raise the question
of why I didn’t work on them and the answer is simple, time.

This is why I have developed the
habit of periodically dedicating a blog posting to my worthy orphans. This time, it is for summer 2018, and as I
wandered through the folders I realize that I will need at least two blogs to
present even a portion of my favorites.
I’ll start with the busy month of June.
Here are a few of my favorites, first from our great trips.

We had the
opportunity to visit the beautiful and opulent coast town of Newport Rhode
Island. The Guernsey Hotel and Resort
off the waterfront on Goat Island licensed a couple of my images, from a
previous visit, for a promotion and in return I negotiated a couple of nights
at the hotel. A lovely spot and a convenient
location for explorations.

Lake Morey Retreat
The next
week we continued the theme of free stays at resorts. In a golf tournament Susan had won a couple
of night at the Lake Morey Resort in Vermont.
For two days, Susan played golf while I explored the Vermont and New
Hampshire countryside. I shot a local
waterfall, Sugar Hill Lupines and, of course, Lake Morey.

Everything Else
Of course I live in a beautiful corner of New England and I don't need to travel to capture great images, including my summer infrared pictures.
