Into Each Life

Into Each LifeInto each life a little rain must fall. Especially when crossing the sound on a rainy day on the M/V Block Island




Into each life, some rain must fall, especially if your life is on an island ferry. Along with the rain come bow watches, wet windows, and rolling ships.

This is ferry and island life. The islanders and the crews grow accustomed to these sea conditions. Tourists will grumble with these conditions, but they need only wait. There is a clearing over the island fine on the starboard bow. But for now, the views of bulwarks and capstans forward are rain-covered. And we can tell you that they are playing jazz, perhaps Ella, at a c

Easing AlongEasing in along the docks and throttling back preparing to dock in the Port of Galilee on a cloudy, rainy morning




When coming into port, especially on a cloudy day, one must throttle down and ease along. In Galilee (Narragansett, Rhode Island), this is sometimes easier said than done.

When one arrives in a port such as Galilee on a stormy day, there are often a few steps. First, when the swells are sweeping in from the south (as they were on this day), there are adjustments. The following seas mean that one is "playing" the wheel and throttles. Once in the breakwater, the seas can often peak a bit as the bottom shoals up a bit. Then once in port, the skipper is breaking down that little bit of adr

A Country DriveBright late afternoon spring sunlight filters through the trees highlighting a country drive in Rhode Island's South County




As a youngster, Sunday afternoons outside of boating season were for taking a drive. Though I am not that old, the drive was more rural. Driving down what is now a retail district was a drive in the country (what is now Route 2 in Warwick, Rhode Island).

On those Sunday Drives, we would pass various properties and farms. Looking out the backseat window, I was often enamored with the property's driveways. Some were straight. Some curved. Some fence lined. The term is, "character". These places had character.

So today, as I move about, I make note of rural settings.

Spring Budding OverheadA wide view of the trees in the wood surrounding Indian Lake in South Kingstown, RI




We live in an area where walks are frequent respites. As spring progresses, walking among the trees, we often look up in wonder as their buds appear and leaf out.

These trees in the wood offer gentle filtering of light about in the sky. Puffy clouds above drift by. A special moment, indeed.

"The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!"



~Ansel Adams


An enjoyable aspect of photography is that it sometimes captures surreal reality. These moments of seeming surrealism only last for a moment. How does one capture that moment? You have to be lucky enough to be there and aware of your surroundings.

This was my situation this afternoon looking north along the Saugatucket. I can explain the effects in view through optics, physics and, meteorolog
