We’ve already met a ferry. Most of Isle au Haut has national park status as part of Acadia. The boat takes foot-travel passengers, too.

A scene along the way.

Cony Park, Eastport, Maine



Late afternoon, Cony Park, Eastport, Maine, as the fog rolls in.
The golden hour of late afternoon sunlight adds to the wonder.

Normally, Eastport’s waterfront would be visible from here.

ashore in the morning
Astara and I hiked rocky shoreline
to the lighthouse


four or five intact lobster buoys tempted me
don’t find that at home



Spanish moss drapes many of our forests. Scenes like these often remind me of Neil Welliver’s large, prized paintings and distinctive palette.

was so surprised
in rush between breakfast
and boarding the Peapod for shore trip
to find in my pillbox this wasn’t Tuesday but Wednesday
when did I lose a day?
On Isle au Haut pier

I salute the shopkeeper for thanking
Justice Roberts for Obamacare
and explaining to him
why it was so important to her
to us

Yes, Eastport is a working waterfront. Especially if you like lobster.
