Solstice Weekend in South County
On the Saturday evening before the summer solstice, I took a drive around South County to photograph at a few of my favorite spots in Matunuck and Point Judith. A few pop up rain showers coming through just before sunset led to some awesome lighting, sky conditions, and a couple rainbows. What a way to kick off the summer.
The 250th Independence Day
Some favorites from around the Ocean State the last few years to celebrate the USA's 250th birthday. Happy Fourth of July!
Sunrise at Cape Fear

A Late June Sunset in Watch Hill
Is there a better way to spend a late June Sunday evening than a sunset over Watch Hill Harbor?
The Longest Day of the Year
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.
King Tide in Providence
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!
Celebrating World Oceans Day
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.
