Deep moss beside a trail included this patch. Somehow, I find it rather striking.

Pocket beach at low tide
It’s kind of a secret spot, actually, just north of Eastport’s downtown. The people who live overhead can’t even see it.
On a downtown Belfast street
A shaved-head man
in a very dark navy-blue suit
resembled an undertaker
as he carried a deposit bag
to the bank.
Turned out to be an attorney.
Fallen eagle
Chanced upon in a culvert in Edmunds Township. Those feathers, by the way, are both protected by federal law and valued in Native American culture.
Doctor T at sea
The world of wooden sailing vessels has many devotees, and they have a trove of stories linking captains, ships, first mates, cooks, builders, designers, and much more.
Dr. T, as Garth Wells dubs him, is a passionate Penobscot Bay habitue each year from San Francisco. He has a sharp eye for the waters, too, as well as some strong opinions.
Sailing with him aboard the historic schooner Louis R. French has been a delight.

Deer Island Lighthouse
Across the Western Passage of Passamaquoddy Bay from Eastport, Maine, this small beacon flashes red at night. It’s also a warning of proximity to the Old Sow, the biggest whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere, and mostly on the Canadian side of the channel, as you can see here in one of its calmer phases.

Camden Hills in layers
They’re a landmark for much of Penobscot Bay. Sometimes, though, they appear more distinctly than they do as one broad outline.

Moody moon
Playing around with the night setting on my Galaxy cell phone has produced some surprises, beginning with the aurora borealis.
Here is a full moon that looks like a sun in the breaking storm clouds. Zoom in and you’ll see that the moon’s round. Cameras see a moon as being much smaller than our eyes do.
Any photo that shows otherwise has been manipulated. Care to discuss?
Golden light in the late afternoon
Yes, autumn is in the air.
Here it’s seen on Penobscot Bay from a cruise aboard the historic schooner Louis R. French.

A quickly passing glow
Time the view right and you may see Campobello Island, New Brunswick, turn buttery in the late afternoon sun. As an added touch, a few house windows suddenly burst into bright reflections. Here they’re simply vivid white boxes.
