These photographs were taken in a small clearing in the forests of Petra, Maine. You won't find Petra on a map but it's in the St. John Valley of northern Aroostook County, not far from the St. John River and the Canadian border. Nobody lives in Petra except for the bears, moose, deer, and other forest creatures that we will meet on these pages.
These and other photographs on this site were taken by a Primos Truth Cam 35 wildlife camera, which has been mounted on trees in the forest since before the snow melted this spring, and which has held up to one of the wettest springs and summers we've experienced. The camera will take still photographs or 10-second videos in any light conditions, using infrared or flash photography when necessary.
