Combining Photography With A Boothbay Harbor, Maine vacation
Once again, Beth Conantis showing us her world. Today Beth is inviting us to
spend "photography" time in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
Boothbay Harbor is a quaint town in New England, and a study right out of a
blend of Norman Rockwell, and Ansel Adams. Beth has captured the spirit of the
rugged coast and it's long history with the sea! Well done!!!
If you would like to contact Beth directly about something special, like to
arrange a private photography tour, please feel free.
Beth is guiding us from one place to another.....
