Cranberry Report

  • American woodcock
    April 24

    Dancing with the woodcock as a rite of spring

    Some sources describe this walk as a dance, but I think it looks more like the bird is imitating a “low rider” car…

  • Lobster boat near Islesford
    March 20

  • Boathouses on Islesford.
    August 24

    Waiting to exhale while reflecting on finite spaces

    Breathe in… Breathe out… Breathe in… Breathe out. If you are reading this while in the throes of a hectic island August, you might be thinking, “Yes, stay calm. Remember to breathe. Soon this pace of all good things will get slower and slower.”

  • Fresh, live lobster
    July 19

  • Islesford waterfront in June
    June 20
