Some favorites from around the Ocean State the last few years to celebrate the USA's 250th birthday. Happy Fourth of July!

Four years ago this morning. Scenes from sunrise at the southern tip of Cape Fear, during a family vacation to Bald Head Island, North Carolina.

Happy Summer Solstice! Today is the longest day of the year and the official start of astronomical summer. Here's to the next three months of early sunrises, late sunsets, and Ocean State summer at its best.

A few FujiFilm snaps from a walk around downtown Bristol, Rhode Island the weekend before the 4th of July. Bristol is home to America's longest running 4th of July celebration, and everyone who lives there always goes all out with decorations each year.

Photos from a walk along the river and Waterplace Park during last night's king tide. The high tide at 7:24pm was 5.8 feet, over a foot above average, which led to some minor flooding along the riverwalk. A few spots had over 6 inches of water!

June 8th is World Oceans Day, an annual global celebration of our oceans and ocean conservation. There's no better place to celebrate than here in the Ocean State.

A couple weeks back I went up to the southern coast of Maine for a long weekend. A cloudy day exploring Bath, Phippsburg, and Popham along the Kennebec River, and a perfect blue sky spring day on the way home through Kennebunkport, Wells, and York. Here are a few favorites from the trip.
