Fall is passing by

The weather is getting colder and colder, a beautiful golden light outside, and rain on the way. Soon it will be winter. There are still patches of glorious color as seen yesterday in Hope.

Lighthouse Trip

Monday was a glorious day for a kayak paddle in Camden Harbor and out around Curtis to take photographs of the lighthouse.

The drive home from Camden to Montville was a blaze of Fall foliage color, one of the joys of living in this beautiful state.

Fall in Camden

An absolutely perfect day to take photographs of the schooners in Camden Harbor!

Here are the Schooners Grace Bailey, Merchantile and Mistress against a backdrop of the Camden Hills.

Fog and Rain

A damp and foggy morning in Maine... As the season progresses the fall foliage color is intensifying.

The rain on these fallen leaves really enhanced the color.

There is something just so peaceful about a foggy, rainy day alone on a lake.

New Photography Web Site!

I have been hard at work building a new web site to present my nature and scenic photographs from Maine. Currently photographs are available to purchase as prints, mounted prints, frames prints and photo cards. Please visit my new web site, Shelagh Delphyne Photography.

I took this stunning photograph yesterday. This Fall foliage photograph is now online.

Glorious Fall

Fall in Maine! My favorite time of the year and we have had some really glorious weather. After some much needed rain, the sun is already peaking out through the clouds in anticipation of another sunny day.

The colors are coming along nicely with the red maples putting on their vivid early display! Every day the foliage color is growing in intensity.Hiking in the Camden Hills is always a joy and truly spectacular in the Fall. Last week I hiked up Bald Mountain with a friend, a delightful walk with stunning views. Above is the view from the top. The young red maple was seen on the lower slopes.

I am very excited to have my photography available to purchase online now!

Spring is sprinkling!

Driving home last night in torrential rain last night there were frogs all over the road, another sign that spring is really here. Of course, today there are not many roads left as the rain washed many away. Still fine for the frogs though.

Spring Fling

The spring bulbs are starting to bloom, such a wonderful and joyful sight! Each day another green shoot appears and I try to remember what it is!

The cats are more than ready to spend time outside and drive me crazy begging to have a leash on and go for a walk. Smokey is my tough cat and more than happy to tramp through the snow still remaining under the trees. Solomon has to be carried across the snowy bits!
I heard the geese back a week ago and this morning, being it was a toasty 40 F out I took coffee in the screen porch. The bird song was glorious and I was delighted to hear loons calling down on the pond!

Yesterday was a spring celebration in Belfast, Maine. Stores were offering tasty snacks and a group of mostly fiddle players were wandering store to store playing wonderfully joyful music. It really feels as if spring is here!

Spring is in the air

Lake St George in March showing signs of the ice melting, it is so lovely at this time of the year!


One of the true rites of spring in this area of Maine, the St George River Race. I spent a happy hour crouched on the icy shore shooting photos. See more photos


And what a delight!!! The first snowdrops reaching up through the melting snow!!! The crocuses are up in the warmest spot, although not in bloom yet. It is so exciting to see the plants appearing where the snow is melting, to see what survived and what is actually appearing to do well. The proceeds from the composting toilet have been of great benefit to the garden and I am looking forward to another season of harvesting compost and exploding flower gardens.
