Surf at Schoodic






I've been playing with waves all weekend. Hurricane Earl came and went, and Saturday the waves were high. There's no place better than Acadia for surf, and I do have some pictures of waves breaking 50 feet in the air with a crowd of onlookers. But this morning the ocean was back to normal, and we hit Schoodic Point again at sunrise. The images are in process, but I just had to stop for this pretty little thing. Nothing grand, nothing spectacular, just blue water with a bit of motion-blur and some sharp rocks. Such fun to play!

On the way out, we passed a small pond with three great blue herons. They were spread out so much that the pictures showing all three are not especially attractive. But individually, they made some lovely images. They weren't very worried about us, and after a few minutes of shooting from the car, I moved slowly across the road toward them. Breakfast was more interesting than two slow humans and they fished and posed for quite a while.
