.The shadow of this tree has always fascinated me. This photo was taken after the Winter Storm Q2. On the Downeast Coast we just got the edge of the storm… 2 inches here of enough snow to make things white again.

luminescent bay
========================
“Hidden along the Caribbean coast is one of the most spectacular Bio-luminescent Bays in the world. The mysterious blue-green light is created by micro-organisms which thrive in an environment uniquely suited to their needs. A trip into the bay on a balmy night is a magical experience.” – Captain Sharon Grasso

Waiting
=======
There was a time
the bench was yours and mine
sharing thoughts and dreams
and some times mysterious themes.
.
There was a time
I’d look and see you so fine
sitting and waiting patiently for me
always late you’d say, but saved the seat for thee.
.
I walk by and wonder where you are
looking for you in my heart near and far
no longer waiting there for me
on the bench for me to see.
.
You left this world suddenly not saying goodbye
the bench is there waiting and so am I.
.

There are photos
from the 33rd page Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge.
What we want you to do is to scour the page,
choose 33 words,
and reshape those words
into a piece of your own.
..
.
======================================
My poem from words of those pages:
————————————————
.
The woods on
Puckerbrush Island.
……….wind picked up,
sound carried on shore.
Under Tamarack trees,
…………….. a soft pine bed,
Wild flowers his Mother knew.
Traits don’t change,
states of mind do.
He drove on.
