Pied Beauty
1877
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889)

Glory be to God for dappled things —
     For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
          For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
     Landscape plotted & pieced — fold, fallow, & plough;
          And all trades, their gear & tackle & trim.
               All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled, (who knows how?)
     With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
          He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
               Praise him.

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea."
Tagore - Bengali poet and novelist

Sedgwick-Deer Isle Bridge : opened in 1939, they're reconstructing it. It shook as we were stopped near its top.

I'm guessing about a 15-foot lobster skiff in Blastow Cove on Little Deer Isle

South shore of Little Deer Isle. My sister Deb and I took a run out past Sheep, Scott,
Eaton and Little Eaton Islands and then over to Weeds Point before heading back.
A special thanks to David who showed us this not-so-well-known launch location.
