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

‘This is not New York’
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
Inside the Breakwater basin
Yes, Eastport is a working waterfront. Especially if you like lobster.
Fog with Campobello Island, Canada
As seen from from our neighbor’s across the street in Eastport, Maine.
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.
Lush ferns in the wild
They still charm me.
These are at the Cobscook Friends Meetinghouse in Whiting.
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.
