I can’t tell you how many years I’ve driven by this spot early in the morning and thought how beautiful the reflections were and continued on my way. It wasn’t until a couple years ago I actually stopped with my camera. It doesn’t look like much from the road, but early morning about an hour after the sun rises it’s such a beautiful, peaceful view. Of course as in any photographic location, the clouds, the tide and the position of the sun can change the scene from moment to moment but that’s what makes capturing these scenes with my camera so special to me. Our lives are so busy these days and if there is one thing my camera has taught me it’s that moments matter….so stop and be in the moment once in a while.

Wonderful image of one of my favorite places.
Here’s what that scene brought to my mind a few years ago:
Frenchman’s Pier
How sublime it would be to have lived here as a child;
to amble out on Frenchman’s Pier to cast a line,
or, in the early morning, hear the tide softly
brush the marsh grass of the Little River’s gentle shores.
Oh, what it would have been like to take my skiff
to explore Susan Point and Stanwood Point
and keep going beyond Biskie Head into the
Annisquam – and from there – from there, anywhere!
A place where I could steer a course in a summer breeze
that never ends and see foreign lands and
mountains and magical islands, all while on
my back, gazing up from Frenchman’s Pier.
