July 31: Blue Moon

Blue moon rising
over harbor lights--
even the ducks are restless.

July 30: On the boat

Monhegan ferry--
everyone stands to watch seals
which stare back at us.

July 29: Night fog

Under the misty moon
fog-shrouded island
is a beautiful ghost.

July 28: Monhegan House nocturne

A bat flies over!
Strumming guitar, waves' backbeat
lull us to sleep.

July 27: Focus

Fog obscures the summit.
Berries along the trail
that we pause to eat.

July 26: Morning at the B&B

Not quite awake.
Rain on the roof harmonizing
with cardinal's whistles.

July 25: White River

We drove on Route 107 along Vermont's White River this afternoon. The water was very low, as is typical in summer, but we could see signs everywhere of damage caused by the floodwaters of Hurricane Isabel a few years ago.
 
We follow the river
low now in its stony bed.
Cows graze the floodplain.
