"I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung . . .

I decided to go for a walk on the Cliff Walk today. It was sunny but very, very windy. I had planned to start the hike with a walk on Easton's Beach, but the wind on the beach was so bad that I decided . . .

I came out of the tunnel under the Chinese Tea House and up the hill a little way and what did I see in the water but a group of Red-Fronted Mergansers. After watching them for a little while I saw the . . .

I had today off; a Sunday off for me is a rarity. It was our first seriously chilly day - when I first set out around 8:30 it was about 28 degrees, and in the course of the day it never got out of the . . .

Yesterday I went down to Ballard Park and Gooseneck Cove, but there wasn't really anything new to shoot. But down on Hazard Rd. by the Cove one of my fellow birders, a kid who drives a truck for AAA, . . .

I figured today would be Cliff Walk day. I wanted to see if I could find those Harlequins again, but no such luck. But there were things to see, so lets go look.
Just off First Beach in Easton's . . .

On my way to the library today I decided to take the scenic route down a section of the Cliff Walk. There were a lot of Canadian Geese along the way, and while I was down there one lawn full of them decided . . .

Add together these ingredients: the New England seacoast, still with some remnants of a snowstorm (snow piles) and cold weather (ice on standing water), overtaken by warm, wet air. The result: a fog so . . .

I took a brief walk on the Cliff Walk today. I went as far as it was safe to go. There was plenty of snow, and after a certain point the Cliff Walk stops being a path and becomes a blazed trail from rock . . .

Whew! I went down to the Cliff Walk today (still chasing after slow shutter speed shots of waves crashing on rocks) and ended up getting caught in a very nasty thunderstorm. Actually it was probably about . . .

As I mentioned Friday, one of the events of this weekend was the offshore drive-by on Hurricane Bill. Our weather wasn't much affected (except for the suffocating humidity it pushed up the coast in front . . .

I went down to my usual spots to do another test drive with my new Raynox DCR-2020, a 2.2x teleconverter lens. I had taken some shots before that really didn't work out very well because that was when . . .

On the Cliff Walk section of my hike today I saw a sure sign of Spring - the Common Loons are starting to transition into their Summer plumage. There are still many in Winter plumage still, but you can . . .

Our current not-so-nice weather (cloudy, gloomy, with scattered periods of heavy mist and drizzle) brought some slightly higher surf with it. I went down to Ruggles Ave. to see if any of the gang were . . .

Today started out overcast and gloomy, with little schpritzes every now and then. But I went down to the Cliff Walk anyhow; I like the ocean when it gets moody in Autumn's unsettled weather. There was . . .

I looked at the weather radar this morning and saw I had a pretty wide window between areas of rain, so I headed out the door. It stayed overcast most of the time, so the photographing was pretty good. . . .

Spring is busting out all over Newport. I went down to Ballard Park and Gooseneck Cove, naturally, and then headed over to the Cliff Walk at Ruggles Ave. The surf sounded loud, so I had gome over to Ruggles . . .

Despite being the hottest day so far in our Summer, and with the added insult of around 90 - 95% relative humidity, I went out for a walk. I even did a good stretch of the Cliff Walk, which has no shade . . .

I decided to walk all the trails in Ballard Park today, and ended up getting some decent shots of small creatures. Below on the left is a very, very small snail on a Spotted Knapweed seed head in the . . .
