Do dandelions have a dark side? This I do not know. I am amazed about their transformation from yellow flowering plants to fuzzy globes. Nabakov was right; dandelions change from suns to moons.

Our roses have given us much joy over the last year when we could not venture far. They are making their first appearance of the current year. The first blossom appears, deep within the bush, wondering if it is safe to come out.

Matunuck's Lonely TreeMatunuck's Lonely Tree is a tree with no reason but stands at the edge of what was once farmland and what is still beach during a weather event at sunset. A commenter view this photo simply said, "I see Hope". Being that this photo was taken at the Rhode Island shore, it is fitting to invoke "Hope" (the state motto).




"My" tree is gone. I went for a walk on Matunuck Beach with my wife today and "my" tree was gone. Lost to the wind, wave, tides, and erosion of winter.

I call it "my" tree because I entered a photograph of

Mornings are quiet on the river. It is as if there is an old man alongside the banks telling everything to slow down. The current runs with deceptive alacrity, but the appearance is quiet and serene. Reflective. Look south. Look north. Relax to the quiet rhythm of the river.

Beach Waves Under Dramatic Skies by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

"I always like to say hello to the ocean, because no matter what, it will wave back to me." ~Unknown


Some have expressed that I have saltwater in my veins. That I have nervous shakes when I go inland for two long. These are obvious hyperbole that is only funny because of their juxta positioned veracity.

In reality, I have spent time inland. I have spent much more time on or near the water. There is a reason why I live near the beach. This is the place for comfort, thoughtfulness, and inspiration. And the ocean never fails to offer its welcome.

The seed of another plant caught in the cloud of a dandelion gone to seed. It is fascinating how the dandelion itself is as clear as crystal. Yet, despite clarity, there obscuring in the diffused glow of tender tendrils. Our clear sight becomes a mystery.

Lobster Trap On Wintry Beach by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - Walking on the beach in winter is a different experience than in the summer. In the summer, they drag and clean the beach daily. In the winter, the gull's natural "raw bar" leaves fascinating shells all over. And then there are the remains of fishing and items such as lobster traps washed ashore.

The lobster traps are usually beaten up as they have been turning about on the bottom. They have hung up on rocks and pounded in the surf. They are a mess of vinyl-coated mal-formed and bent wire by the time they come ashore.

In this case, someone dragged the trap up to the dunes. The wind has started showing patterns in the sand as the dune grass bends. Even without snow, this is winter on the beach, and it is fascinating to see. We will join in the cleanups come spring.

Lines, Function, and Working Beauty by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - Stern View Waterline


Stern View WaterlineStern view of a working boat cabled out in Dutch Harbor, Jamestown, Rhode Island.




I love classic styles of workboats and fishing vessels. This is but one example. The hardy work vessel is functional and open. The graceful lines lend to its function.

A powerful stem juts above the high bow. The level of the bow is perfect for splitting open waves and throwing them aside. This keeps the operator safe and dry.

The sheerline comes from the need to have a lower middle and stern for working and hauling. In this case, a winch rigged on the console says that they are hauling traps with this boat.

This boat carries its width to its stern and transom. This gives it "wide shoulders" and support as items come up over the size in working. Thi

Sun And Waves Paint A SceneThe coastline of Conanicut Island at Fort Getty, Jamestown, Rhode Island. A sunny, windy day at the rocky shore.




There are those photographers who work to capture the perfect sunrise or sunset. I practice this on occasion myself. But I also find that there is a lot of daytime bracketed between the sunrise and the sunset. In that time, I hike, sail, and do a lot more. Sometimes, these conditions are harder to photograph in bright, harsh light. But the results are astounding to see.

This particular winter perambulation was on the western shore of Conanicut Island. Jamestown's Fort Getty. This is a section of the coast where shoreline access balances with preservation. Untamed and wild views result. One can imagine another unt

Marsh Grass by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Posted By MadeFromRI on Photography

https://www.madefromrigallery.com - There is a certain undefined quiet comfort in being by marsh grass. One experiences a stillness that is only disturbed by the wind ruffling the grasses.
 

Marsh Grass


Marsh GrassMarsh grass is seen in the marsh area of Fox Hill Pond abutting Dutch Harbor, Jamestown, Rhode Island. A peaceful scene with marinas and the Newport Pell Bridge in the background.




That undefined quiet is one of the things that signify the benefits of marshland. Marshes are buffers between wave and storm action of the ocean or bay and more stable, fertile ground. Marshes and distribute nutrients into that fertile soil and filter out pollutants. They are also breeding grounds for commercial and recreational fish.

The quiet peace of looking at marsh grass holds a great deal of meaning. Given the calm fee
