Mono image of a pigeon on the Rockland Harbor Walk Railing, gazing out to sea. The walkway can be seen continuing behind it with horizontal rail and vertical posts. Beyond that is a grassy hill edged by a post and rope fence.
Well, my #BirdoftheDay may be too late for anyone to notice, but I have this lovely pigeon on a #manmadeperch to share.

Spring in coastal Maine is that magical season when everyone insists it’s warm… but still wears three layers and carries a scarf “just in case.” 🌷🧣

Mono image of some of the massive rocks exposed by low tide at Pemaquid Point, Maine. A calm ocean in the background fades to a summer haze on the horizon. The rocks are layered and swirled. Their size is evident by the people on the right, taking respite from the sun in the shade, and some sitting on the rocks, taking in the ocean view.

A Lighthouse and its outbuildings with red roofs nestled at the top of a hill in the fog. The vegetation below shows some reddish hues of fall, mixed in with the greenery. The sky is shrouded with fog. The 2019 movie is a sort of crazy, mystery, horror movie set on a remote New England island.

Pano image of a bright winter day on the rocky coast of Maine. Light clouds float in a blue sky with the sun casting flares from behind a cloud, onto the rocks. The rocks reach out to a calm blue sea with sparkling water.

Monochrome image of pier pilings in Rockland Harbor, Maine in winter. There are seagulls perched on three of the posts. The water is gently rippled and shadowed. In the distant background, the breakwater stretches out into the harbor, ending with the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. Beyond that is more coastline. The Harbor leads out to Penobscot Bay, not visible, to the right.

A boat named "Tiger Shark" with a bright red hull is docked in Bar Harbor, Maine. The schooner Margaret Todd, with four tall masts topped with flags, is docked behind. There is a crowd of people on the pier waiting to board the schooner. Only the red hull is in color as I was having a little fun with filters. The rest of the photo is monochrome. One of the Porcupine Islands provides a prominent backdrop to the scene. The island appears to be in a bit of fog and there are thick clouds above and beyond the island. This is the Mt Desert Narrows in Frenchman Bay.

The Maine coast in early March has this strange quiet to it.
The tourists aren’t back yet. The harbor is gray and calm. The lobster boats are out before sunrise.
It’s the perfect weather for writing cozy stories about seaside towns and stubbornly romantic people. 🌊📚

Monochrome image of the top of a lighthouse view of Muscongus and Penobscot Bays from inside the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. Through two angled windows, we see the bays and Hupper Island to the right and a clear sky. The original 5th order Fresnel lens was removed by the Coast Guard in 1971 and disappeared from the Rockland Coast Guard Station in 1974. It is still missing. The automated barrel lens that replaced the 5th order lens is displayed in the Marshall Point Lighthouse museum. An LED light encased in plastic was installed in 2018. The current light, in a barrel shape, is shiny and reflective at the right of the photo.

White clouds dance up and away in a blue sky over the ocean. Rocks below stretch towards us in sharp lines, which contrast with the freedom in the sky.

Monochrome image of a beach during low tide. Sand and rocks are exposed. The beach encircles a lone man, bent over digging clams. The sand around him is dark where he has dug. There are large rocks in the foreground, a bridge and trees in the background. The scene accentuates the solitude of the person.

Monochrome image of a lone pine tree perched at the edge of an ocean cliff. It is missing many lower branches and has one large out of place branch that juts from the left of the trunk. There are rocks strewn about its base and some roots exposed on the right. The ocean stretches to the horizon beyond. The sky has soft clouds. The tree stands straight, in spite of its precarious location, where it is sometimes battered by wind, rain, snow, and rocks. Pemaquid Point, Maine USA

A great ridge of rock extends far into the sea. There is snow in some of the crevices. The sea looks deceivingly calm as it rolls and crashes against the rocks with the incoming tide. The sun sparkles brightly in the distance. The clouds are scattered and in various shapes of lines, wisps, and ribs. Pemaquid Point, Maine USA

A pair of osprey silhouetted against a dark gray sky. They are perched above their large messy nest built in the #2 Channel marker in Camden, Maine. The marker is tall, built of metal scaffolding and has bright orange triangular signs with the number 2 on them. Fog shrouded land is near the bottom of the photo.

A wave crashes on the rocky shore. There are bits of snow still in the rocks. The sea rolls white near the shore and is deep,cold winter blue to the horizon. The blue contrasts with the warm browns of the sunlit rocks. The sky is a paler blue with scattered white clouds. On the left horizon, Monhegan Island appears perched on the surface of the sea, seeming very close and clear, though it's about 10 miles away. Quote from Jacques-Yves Cousteau
"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."

Many birds perch on a dead tree in the dense fog off the coast of Maine. It was taken in September and they could be cedar waxwings. Hard to tell, but I like the overall abstract effect.
I'm not sure what type of birds these are. Maybe cedar waxwings? This was taken on Monhegan Island, Maine on a foggy fall day.

Fort Popham (from their website): Fort Popham is a semi-circular granite fort that was never completed, though construction began in 1862 for use during the Civil War. Modifications were made, and the fort was used again in the Spanish American War and in World War 1. Historical records conclude that fortifications, probably wooden, existed here and protected the Kennebec settlements during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. It was nearby that the English made their first attempt to colonize New England in 1607. Monochrome image showing an end of the fort with its rough cut granite blocks and what looks like a steel framed window. There are some dried weeds growing from the crevices. It is low tide, and there are circles of ice at the base of the wall. The rocks of the shore next to the fort have snow on the top and seaweed at the base. Calm waters of the Kennebec River lead to the opposite shore where trees and houses are visible. The sky is gray with flat clouds. This is where the Kennebec reaches the Atlantic ocean. Maine USA

A solitary sailboat with white sails is floating on a deep blue, calm sea. The sky is blue with the hint of some white clouds. The foreground is a tumble of rocks with a few plants growing in between. Lyrics are from the song Sailing by Christopher Cross.

At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right
you can sail away
And find tranquility"

Winter By The Sea.. Winter by the sea Oh, the life of openness Something within me Full of cold caress I am like a traveler Going to my desires A weaving sea dweller Never of the sea tires Come as you may Oh, Wintry north chill Dreams won't go away Thou coldness you fill My days and hours I will be like the glow That rises the flowers After freezing snow Winter of the sea In all your loneliness You always are free Weaving harmonious North summer rises In beauty and wild With all its surprises In enigmatic beguiled Peter S. Quinn Photo of rippled sand leading to inlets of water at low tide. Snow dappled islands on the horizon, a clouded sky, with sun rays trying to poke through. The overall view is cold, lonely, yet beautiful.
"Winter by the sea
Oh, the life of openness
Something within me
Full of cold caress
I am like a traveler
Going to my desires
A weaving sea dweller
Never of the sea tires"

Scene of snow-covered ground leading to a sandy beach. Water, islands, and cloudy sky in the background. There is a wooden post next to the path. On top of the post is a pale blue knit hat with a fuzzy brown pompom. On the front of the hat is a fabric patch that says LOVE.
