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

As seen from from our neighbor’s across the street in Eastport, Maine.
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

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.
They still charm me.


These are at the Cobscook Friends Meetinghouse in Whiting.
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
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.

Lubec blue-collar artist Chuck Kniffen created Rosebud, above, and Unicorn, below, from debris found along the shoreline.

As usual, there were kerosene lanterns, which I didn’t attempt to photograph.
And this time, phosphorescence in the water itself. Ditto.

But, as I noted:
unseen, the moon grows more luminus
in night shrinking from day
