Rangeley Lake in Maine
Some of you may know that on Christmas Eve I fell and broke my left shoulder. For the past 7 1/2 weeks (so far) I have been trapped in my house in pain and discomfort. While I have been thankful to have the time to heal you start to feel like a prisoner in your own home as I have not been able to drive. So when the opportunity arose to escape to Maine with my Hubby, brother and sister-in-law I jumped at the chance (not literally). Although they all would be snowmobiling and I would again be inside I was just thrilled for the change of scenery. The house we rented is right on Rangeley Lake and the location just perfect. Each evening just before dusk our yard is filled with deer. They come so close it is astounding. They are pretty fat so it is obvious someone has been feeding them. Yesterday we had 15 at one time. I have been thrilled because the picture opportunity has been great. This morning the sunrise over the lake was just outstanding. The color of the sky against the black landscape only helped to accentuate it further. A couple more days of respite here and then we will have to leave. I am not looking forward to returning to our house on Cape Cod although I know it is inevitable!
Wonderful pics. I love very much deer photos. In Finland, we have reindeers. Here are some photos of them in winter:

Have a wonderful day!

Oh, no! I didn’t know you fell. How did I miss this? I hope you get back to your usual self soon. I love the photographs, deer are my favorite! Glad you got to get away from home for a while. I am having surgery on my achilles tendon if a few weeks and will have to be off it for 4-6 weeks. So it looks like I will be joining you with the home-bound life. I have been making a list of all the things I want to sketch. I hope you can lift your big camera soon, but these photo’s from your IPhone are great! Love the colors in the sunrise.

Thanks Janell. I actually stary PT today which will be good as it is difficult to lift my big camera. Good luck with your surgery! I wish you a quick and painfree recovery!

It’s a beautiful area up there and your photos reflect that. At least you were able to lift your arm to take these photo, although I suspect you used an iPhone. So nice that you were able to get away for a few days. I felt the same way both when I had my knee surgery and again when I broke my elbow…I hope you will be back to working that arm real soon Liz.

My big camera is too heavy to hold up so I have been using my IPhone. Going a little stir crazy for sure!
