Though I can't draw, I do occasionally take a photo I like and am willing to share.

I shot this on "National Hot Dog Day" last summer (7-23-13) as I was renting what we call a camp (seasonal home) here in Maine on Dodge Pond about 3 miles west of Rangeley. The week went by way too quick.

Shot with a digital camera version of an Instamatic (point & shoot). Need to hold very still. Camera was brand new to me at the time. I'm still practicing "holding still" as it's very sensitive to wiggles.

We're facing north down the length of the 1.25 mile (2km) pond. 3,268 ft (just shy of 1km) high Spotted Mountain shrouded in the fog and clouds in the distance. The near shore is a quarter mile (400 meters) away. Half-way between "my" dock and the flag pole across the way is the deep spot of the pond at 51ft (15.5 meters). Lake was full of trout and landlocked salmon. Took me most of the week to figure out how to get them to bite, but once I did, it was a fun time.

It was a small 3 room camp (combo living/kitchen and two bedrooms), but perfect for me. Not so perfect to host family visitors. I would consider renting it again, but strongly encouraging family to not all show-up on the same day. Very reasonable rental price for the tourist-heavy Rangeley area. Very quiet pond.
