As seen from our kitchen table
Isle au Haut
for a dark night
awash in too much nothingness
to be Zen
we’re all so happy to be at sea
the 14 of us plus crew
on a gorgeous day
despite our ages
or a slight chill
stand by
drop the hook
Black guillemot
The white marker on the wings of the bird’s black summer plumage make a striking identity. It’s one of the many waterfowl species I’m being introduced to far from my native Midwest.
Machias River
The 75-mile-long Machias River is Maine’s leading salmon habitat and was a major lumbering stream. There is little settlement or paved-road access upstream from here, the bridge in Whitneyville.
Lush ferns in the wild
They still charm me.
These are at the Cobscook Friends Meetinghouse in Whiting.
Superyacht on the scene
We’re not overrun with them, unlike Bar Harbor and points south and west.
At the end of another fine day
I had a good day of photography
a wonderful day overall
How gentle the water surface
a few moments of approaching mal de mer, but no problems
we were lucky, having seven rain-free days,
only some heavy fog in the night and morning
why did the chicken cross the road?
because he didn’t cook it
As a preview of tonight’s aerial show
Here are “four for the Fourth,” a sampling from last year’s pyrotechnics display. The photos were taken from maybe 200 feet away from the firing line on the Fish Pier. It’s always a fine festive event along the waterfront.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July.
Beach trash art
Lubec blue-collar artist Chuck Kniffen created Rosebud, above, and Unicorn, below, from debris found along the shoreline.
