Peonies

Currently I am not working on any specific projects. It gives me the opportunity to have some fun taking random photos. A few days ago I was looking at my wife’s garden and her peonies. They are an old variety not seldom seen. They are all white with a touch of yellow and red in their centers. i have photographed them over the years when in bloom and sold an image of a tight close up of the flower in full bloom, but I have always been intrigued with the flowers as they decayed. Below are a three such photos of the decaying flowers.

Commercial Fishing Nets

I spent a couple of days this winter hanging around the commercial fishing docks in Montauk and Hampton Bays.

Ice Boats on Mecox Bay

Thursday January 18th I made a last minute check of the ice on Mecox Bay and found the ice boaters out. Most were  getting the last day of ice racing in before the weather warmed up. The racers were excited because the ice was smooth and fast. Trying as many runs as they could before the days light vanished.

Hard Sailing on Mecox Bay

I was out on Mecox Bay last week during the cold snap and came across the ice boat sailors. After getting a few still photos I took some video. It wasn’t my plan to make a video. This is my first attempt at video and is very amateurish. The video can be watched at the link below. I hope you enjoy the video. Still photos will be in tomorrows post.
