ME III: pre-storm beauty

· Maine Event

Another busy day working on the website. Some progress was made but still much to happen. Tonight Hurricane Lee is set to arrive as a tropical storm sometime between 11pm and 2am. They are expecting mostly a windstorm with some rain. Also, we are likely to lose power and everyone is expecting that. The power company is sending in reinforcements from neighboring areas. It's fascinating to see how large Lee has become at this point.

After work, we ran down to the ferry and went to Peaks Island to see the ocean as the storm approached. The back sides of the islands are much more exposed than the interior protected zone of Casco Bay.

Perfect milkweed pods - magical.

I think I'll go all the way in...
Hard gray storm clouds. Dull tight morning.
I hope my tree friends are okay in the windstorm tomorrow.
Nice flowers and then if you look closer...

This is a stormy sea for the calm Atlantic. Very few boats were out in any visible way.
A large group of teens stripped down to their underwear diving off the ferry landing. It was pretty chilly and some of them thought so too.
The ferry arriving to take us home under magnificent skies.
Thank you Peaks Island.

Happy Rosh Hashanah.

Sending you oodles of love and much adoration,
