I attended a Canon Photo Safari held at Gloucester Maritime Heritage Area in Gloucester, Massachusetts with Adam Jones. The photo safari is an opportunity to try out Canon photography equipment and to pick up tips and techniques from a Canon Explorers of Light professional.

I took photos of the fireworks, the block party, the parade and the La Kermesse Festival in Biddeford, Maine.

While traveling through Kentucky I couldn’t resist visiting Big Bone Lick State Park. My wife and I joked together about how fun it would be to wear a t-shirt that simply said “Big Bone Lick” in large letters with “State Park” in small letters below it. I also learned a few things about the area, too.

I went out for some photos of a waterfall after the rain, and got some shots of pink lady slippers and a bullfrog.
