Searsport and a Woodpecker Morning

Yesterday started off pleasant and sunny and gradually the sunlight faded and a chilly wind blew in, the sort of wind that is really penetrating. It is years since I visited the waterfront in Searsport and the opening of a new solar store there was an excellent excuse. Solar hot water is my next goal. A solitary walker down on the shore emphasized the choppy waves.

Taking photographs directly into the sun has always appealed to me.


There was a scattering of old moorings on the shore and this detail of chain reflected in water caught my eye.


This morning was grey and windy, not an inspiring morning to have to get up earlier due to the clocks going forward. (How I wish they would just leave it on summer time!) The day was brightened by the sound of my pileated woodpecker who clearly shared my opinion of the day and was only just getting out of bed himself. I lay in bed for a while looking at him looking out of his hole.
