Sometimes it's just this. A smile or two. A nod. A slightly lifted hand off the thigh suggesting a wave. Sometimes it's so little and it's almost always so much.

There was light. And some was slower than others.
A fisherman's traps. Like a hieroglyph of its owner and wrapped into function and style and environment. Tells a story of the fishing grounds and who he invites inside the trap.

So, yes. There was that time in my distant youth I designed and modeled a lobster costume. Check.
Stacked. Against. Up. In your favor. Stacked. The Desert, Portland, Maine.
Early morning departure. A quiet harbor. Very.
I do NOT miss the cruise ships regardless of economic impact. My apology to those negatively impacted and pray for a sustainable alternative.
GREAT NORTHERN headed away from the docks.
We can support one another.

I have lobsters if anyone is interested.

Here's the opportunity to buy direct from the boat. You will know who harvested them. You will know his boat. You'll never feel the same the next time you look out in the harbor and recognize the Ann Elizabeth.

REPOST FROM @rugged_seas “There is no better time than now to support local businesses... this includes farmers and fisherman. It’s a scary time for all of us, life has changed drastically in the last two weeks, but now is the time we all need to come together and support one another. My cousin is a lobsterman out of Portland, Maine. He has been selling fresh lobster right from his boat to try and sustain his business.... if anyone is looking for fresh lobster at a good price contact @harvester9283 “

At low tide you are appearing as big as you are.
This time of year as the light returns I begin my inevitable anticipation of a busier waterfront. It's been mighty quiet on my beat. May the equation of economics, demand, supply, tariffs, bait prices, lobster dock prices, climate changes, lobster population and availability to support industries to lobstermen figure out.

I start to wonder if they arranged it this way.
A long walk. A short pier. Piles upon piles. Mass and matter and all our stuff.
I daydream of moving from Maine. And then this happens and I abandon those thoughts.

So very Maine.
