fresh snow on granite

the faint purple sheen

of purple sandpipers

3 April 2023 (carrying)

carrying my anger

to the breakwater’s end

blast grooves in granite

wave-worn granite

snow lingers along

the wrack line

a falcon disappears

into the cliff face

the rosy glow

October 2: Stonington, Day One

Deer Isle, on which the town of Stonington is found, is one of the granite centers of Maine, with active quarries still cutting monument-quality granite. As we drove into town, we passed a flat-bed truck hauling a massive, multi-tone block of granite, a beautiful hunk of Maine stone.

 

Driving to Stonington--

truck hauls a block of granite

off the island.
