This year’s photograph Hint of Gold is framed in my Commando Photozaic.

Hint of Gold:

Robert Frost wrote this perfectly:  Nothing Gold Can Stay.  Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.  Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then the leaf subsides to leaf So Eden Sank to grief, so dawn goes down today.  Nothing gold can Stay.  This view recharges my soul, I love sitting on my parent’s shoreline watching the sunsets and June didn’t disappoint. There’s no better way to reflect on a beautiful day than watching the sunset, knowing tomorrow is going to be just as amazing.  I enjoy my time spent with Mom especially after Dad passed away a few years back.  It’s funny how life’s perspectives change after you lose a parent.  I know that someday my time witnessing these beautiful sunsets on my parent’s shoreline will end but they will forever be locked inside my heart.

I’m including just the image and framed version.

SOLD!

These lovely formal photozaics are heading to their new owners!!  This humbling feeling never goes away and never gets old.   Keep in mind I will continue to remake my artwork but no longer stock the Formal photozaics- will always offer as another option for my collectors.

Holiday Art Show at Solar Arts!

Published

The holiday season is now upon us and what better way to celebrate the seasons is with a gift made from an artist.  I will again be at Solar Arts BLDG in Fox Den under Art to Change the world selling my fabulous photoziacs amongst other talented artists.  This year I will offer up both my formal and commando series photoziacs. 

I do commission work so if you have an interest in that please come by with the image and we can discuss framing options for you.

Below are a few examples of what I will have with me and I hope to have room to demonstrate how I create my art.

NOTE: I will be in attendance for the December dates

Nashoba Winery, Rockport and Gloucester

Published

As my time here in New England winds down, I had to keep my schedule flexible due to the weather.  Thursday was a picture-perfect day for wine tasting and samplings of spirits.  The Grounds at Nashoba are gorgeous and I couldn’t wait to sit outside and take in the crisp October air while sipping on wine and eating lunch.  Friday the forecast said it would rain in the western part of Massachusetts, so I drove East, all the way to Rockport’s Pebble Beach and the downtown area.  While going back to my Hotel, I explored Gloucester, Lexington, and Concord.  Images below are from Nashoba, Rockport, and Gloucester.

Lopresti and Deer Island Parks- Boston Area

Published

Yesterday I explored Lopresti and Deer Island Parks. Both are near Logon Airport but are amazingly quiet places to explore.  Lopresti Park is East of Boston, and you have great views of the skyline.  Deer Island Park has a huge wastewater treatment plant- LOL I felt at home!  For those of you that don’t know I’m a purchasing agent for a local government agency and my biggest internal customer of our wastewater treatment plants.  I didn’t know this until today after doing research for this post.  I was thankful the rain came in early allowing me to get these images and now the rain has come back in, so I was given a perfect window of opportunity.  It looks like the cooler weather is speeding up the fall color and I hope to post more images of fall tomorrow and later this week

Rock Harbor- Providencetown

Published

Today’s stop Rock Harbor and Provincetown, also I need to include late yesterday afternoon too I spent time at these two locations.  I will say this morning in Provincetown gave me the best images and met so many kind people, not just other tourists but kind store owners.  Coming from Minnesota, we don’t experience high and low tides like you all on the coast.  I love how the landscape changes due to the tides.  Today is my last day on the Cape and tomorrow I head inland for the rest of my trip.  I feel blessed that I get to have these great opportunities for travel (with CheeBah) and capture these awesome images.  Thank you to all my followers and I love reading your comments- thank you to non-followers who like my work as I post on Social Media.  If interested in collaborating with me, please DM me or email me at nmcguirestudio@gmail.com.  I’ve already received requests and love to work with other artists.  #Thursdayvibes #newengland #massachusetts #capecod #provincetown #fineartphotography #bnw_photography

Nauset Lighthouse and Cole Beach, MA

Published

Yesterday, at midday, I checked out Nauset Lighthouse Beach.  CheeBah freed herself from my grasp and decided to chase Seagull down the beach, people were laughing, and I was exhausted as I was used to chasing her in snow or grass, not on deep sandy beach.  She stopped to say hi to a nice couple and I was able to nab her leash, it was all good.  After dinner I packed up CheeBah for a fabulous East Coast sunset, yes, I wrote sunset!!  I spent some time using Google Maps to find the right place, checked the weather for conditions, and decided on Cole Beach.  Here are the images I took on Tuesday’s adventure.

Kangamangus Highway #112

Published

Yesterday’s drive along Kangamangus Highway was packed with people and not able to get the images I hoped.  I will say this area the colors were dry and not as vibrant.  I captured better shots last year but still wanted to see what else was around.  I found a few roads not far from Kangamangus Highway that I will explore later today.  As I write this post, I’m blessed to witness fog rolling down the mountain right outside my motel room. This collection of images are both color and infrared (black and white).

Willey House Saco River

Published

Today’s adventure I planned on exploring Echo Lake Beach a part of Franconia State Park.  On my way, I came across the Willey House Pond area.  The pond was a sheet of glass mirroring the landscape that framed it!  I was in awe as I walked around this tiny pond with grandiose views!  Images from today were taken there as Echo Lake Beach was a bust; wrong time of day and the lake was choppy.  So now I know to explore that spot later in the day!  Hope you enjoy the color and Infrared images!  I’m trying to decide which one or a few of these to make with my photoziacs!! Comments welcome.  More exploration awaits me and CheeBah.
