August 1999
31		medium	The Maine Maritime Academy's schooner Bowdoin in Castine Harbor, ME.
30		medium	The reel that circumnavigated with Boston Light in 1987-1988.
29		medium	Trio of whales on Stellwaggen Bank.
28		medium	The southern highway bridge over the Cape Cod Canal.
27		medium	A boat lying on her mooring in the harbor at Quisset, MA.
26		medium	They just look like dinghys.
25		medium	The innards of a gas meter on the dock at Lunt's in Frenchboro, ME.
24		medium	Your basic boatyard dog, Castine, ME.
23		medium	Bow of the motorboat Shine, Castine, Me.
22		medium	An oar, Tenant's Harbor. ME.
21		medium	The top of the foam block walls of Eddie's place in the mountains, just before the concrete truck and the pump truck appeared.  I could still stand upright at this moment.
20		medium	A box turtle that wandered into the garden pool and couldn't get out.
19		medium	The curse of Kudzu.  Behind the Havana Sandwich Shop.
18		medium	I sprayed some of the ferns this morning and hit this spider web, too.
17		medium	The camera wanted to focus on the creek bottom and the water strider wasn't exactly a patient model, but the bending and shadowing of the light are interesting.  The surface of the water is depressed where the insect is standing and there's a wake behind him from the last "stroke" of his legs.
16		medium	Tiger swallowtail butterfly.  I left the large image at 1600 x 1200, so you can see the detail if you're willing to wait for the download.
15		medium	A bit of seed fluff caught on a mossy rock.
14		medium	My smaller flyreel.
13		medium	A skipper butterfly.
12		medium	It was too much trouble to pack the stove just for coffee.
11		medium	Male damselfly.  They were very skittish and didn't like being approached too closely.  I had never know about the tapering rows of translucent bristles on their legs until I saw this photograph.
10		medium	The damselflies were breeding and laying eggs along the creek near Suches, GA.  This is a female balanced on some aquatic weed with her abdomen below the surface.  She was placing eggs (apparently) one-by-one on the strands.
9		medium	A nice sculpture with wet/dry accents, created by the creek.
8		medium	This centipede was clinging to a tree branch along a creek in north Georgia.
7		medium	A horsefly.  He was perched peacefully on my hand until a fraction of second before I pressed the shutter.  It was his last mistake.
6		medium	Last Sunday evening on the island.  The chairs get moved during the day to follow the shade.
5		medium	Tree stump washed ashore on Horn Island.
4		medium	A skate's egg case on the beach at Horn Island.
3		medium	Kudzu creeping down the hill to I-285.
2		medium	Dinner.  Scooped from the Gulf that morning.
1		medium	An interesting piece of lumber that washed ashore on Horn Island.
