full buck moon-9705

There’s a nice description of full moon names here.  This view is from the Essex Dock,  looking east across the CT River toward Old Lyme.  The tide is coming in, right to left.

to everything there is a season-9517

I missed the flowering prime of these peony blooms, but nonetheless found a beauty even more compelling in its starkness (and playfulness  – think underwater).  That night a severe thunderstorm came through, and the next day, all the petals here had fallen away, leaving only those magnificent earthen ruby-colored seed pods.

floating-5577

This balloon was airborne each morning I was out, probably lifting off before sunrise. I like how the wind and air currents are implied in this image, and how the rows of corn look a bit like underwater vegetation. It’s a glimpse of that huge ocean of air we all live in.

amish homestead-5496

The trip to Lancaster County might have been called “The Clothesline Tour”, for all the laundry hanging out to dry around the countryside. Here, the hand mower and some of the clothing also suggest an Amish presence.
