Log Canoe Racing

Posted in Outdoors and Nature with tags Chesapeake Bay, Log Canoe, Sailing on July 27, 2008 by John PavoncelloI spent the day yesterday on the Chesapeake Bay photographing a log canoe race. These boats are graceful and fast and abound in history. Some of the canoes are over 100 years old and are still sailing. I left the docks with a chase boat at 9:30 am and didn’t return until almost 5pm. It was a beautiful day on the water, though I regret not wearing sunscreen. Thanks to the crew of the Spirt of Wye Town and the folks at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and a big thanks to Kathy for inviting me and setting everything up!
Some favorites from Colorado
Posted in Family and Friends, Fly Fishing, Outdoors and Nature with tags Colorado, Fly Fishing, Garden of Gods, vacation on July 24, 2008 by John PavoncelloGetting back into the daily grind after two weeks off has been difficult. Add to that a few big projects I have in the works and it all equals no time to update my photoblog. So I went through the 1000 or so images I brought back from Colorado and picked a few of my favorites to share. I still have four folders of images to go through but I’m already planning a coffee table book from the trip.

After more than 30 hours on the road, the family arrived safely in York late last night. We spent a whirlwind 11 days in Sadalia Colorado with our friends Jeff and Patty. Our vacation included hiking Devil’s Head, fishing the South Platte River and listening to our guitar playing friends around the camp fire. My son even managed to get up-close and personal with a cactus while following me up a cliff I was climbing.
