Some days I just don't feel like swimming. Some days I don't feel like shooting with a 7lb telephoto setup on the beach. Those days are perfectly suited for drone shots, should the wind be accommodating enough.

The skies have cleared! It finally feels like winter has departed and made way for spring (if not summer). By mid-month we had several days of calm skies, light breezes, and plenty of sun.

The eastern most point of Massachusetts is on Nantucket, and if you sailed south into the Atlantic, the next point of land you'd cross is in the Caribbean. The island is steeped in history, from the native americans to the whaling industry...
