This is freaky. Kayaking the Merrimack River in Boscowan, NH. Due to lack of rain in August, the water level is low. This algae was in areas. Hubby said not all algae is bad. Is he correct? The points seem to be bubbles in the algae growing towards the sun. #algae #algaeblooms #merrimackriver

Something besides me knocked this over. I picked it up to take a picture. So pretty. Does it look like an amanita? Westford, MA.

This was rolling through the California state Capitol last night heading toward LA.

Not camera shy. Black bear in northern Massachusetts.

This guy dragged the sunflowers to the path in the woods and sits like he's eating a bowl of popcorn.

Stunning! An 8-hour time-lapse to show the Earth is rotating while capturing the Milky Way.

Picking blueberries and saw this guy.
