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.

July 24: Woodstock, VT

One farm to the next

we drive through green valleys

following the river

July 23: Eau d'eau

Walking along the river--

smell of fish, mossy rocks.

Time keeps on slipping.

July 22: Farmers' Market

Camden Farmers' Market--

last strawberries of summer,

first sunflowers.

July 21: Dampness

Mist veils the mountain,

marks the spider webs.

Wrapped up, I take a long nap.
