AROUND TOWN WANDERABOUT

... i went for a little wanderabout around town ... this little bird was in the window of the jewelry store that's below my apartment ...

... colby college bought the abandoned hains building, and in the beginning of the cleaning process my favorite "main street window ladies" have been removed ... no matter, it seems that over on ticonic street in the window of a used clothing store their kin have taken up the cause ...

... although only the first week of november it appears it's not too early for christmas ...

... next to the library a splash of color ...

... in the window of the pawnshop, playing silently the blues ...

... nothing but geometry ...

... in the south end, even though autumn's ended this little fellow was still holding on to summer ...

... evening light at three o'clock in the afternoon, welcome to the 44th parallel ...

... green and yellow, i stopped to admire ...

... waiting—waiting ...

... from the newly renovated bridge, looking down into the messalonskee stream, my thoughts were of an evening a long time ago when from this very spot a very sad young woman stepped from life ... 

“We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.”
