Another title for Naomi Hamer’s photo, Ominous Autumn, could be Happenstance. The Orono resident was headed out to walk the quarter mile to her mailbox when she noticed this crow, “… just sitting there on a tree branch all alone, perfectly still and silhouetted against the sky, so I snapped a picture with my phone,” Hamer says.
“I really appreciate the lines in this photo,” Hamer says. “Though I don’t consider photography a hobby of mine, I do love to draw, so the beautiful clean lines of the tree branches along with the ominous, foreboding look of the bird against the wispy clouds made me want to capture and remember that image. It looked like it could be the cover of a British crime novel, and I love a good mystery.”
