RedBubble Features - February 2013 - week 1

A rarity!! A new blog post from me.

Most of my photography efforts of late have been focused on my participation on RedBubble. So I thought I might use my blog posts to highlight some my RedBubble activities. Today's post is about those images of mine that were featured in a group on RedBubble.

February 2012 has so far been an extraordinary month for features, so to keep this post from going on forever, it will only highlight those images featured from 1 February to 7 February.

As I said at the start, February on RedBubble has been extraordinary. In just the first week, 16 images received 22 features. And there was a lot more activity in the remaining three weeks, but I'll leave that for future posts.

Clicking on any of the above images will bring you to my my RedBubble pages where one could, if they so desired, purchase the above images as Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters.

Please feel free to leave comments here on the blog, in my Guestbook or in the photo gallery.

Thanks for looking. And please stop by again

Lighthouses I came across in Maine

Goat Island Light off Cape Porpoise near Kennebunkport, Maine



Cape Elizabeth Light
I left off last year in this blog with our trip to Old Orchard Beach. During that trip I managed to visit a few light houses in the area. The Goat Island Light off Cape Porpoise, was just a bit too far way for my longest reach - 200 mm. But at least I did record seeing it.


      Cape Elizabeth Light
There are actually two lighthouses on Cape Elizabeth. But one of them is now a private dwelling and not accessible to the public.
There is a restaurant and an adorable souvenir shop near the Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse. If you ever have the chance, you must stop and check out the many interesting and unique gifts and souvenirs that can be found in that little shop.

Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth
One of the prettiest lighthouses we came across was the Portland Head Lighthouse, also located in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The sun had been playing tag most of the day, so the challenge was trying to grab a shot with the light shining on the lighthouse, but not so that it caused the whites to blow.

If you looked out into Casco Bay, you could see the Ram Island Ledge light. It was also a bit too far away for my 200 mm reach.

The last lighthouses we saw were in Portland harbour -- the Portland Breakwater (or "Bug") light and the Spring Point Light.
