Implementing a Vision
The thing I’ve noticed is that when I make photos in a place I only visit one time, I have a weird tendency to think that everything I saw/photographed is going to always look exactly the way it did when I saw it. (Yes, yes I do need to get over myself.)
When I was working on this post the other day, I thought it might be nice to include the name of the shipyard, so I headed over to Google maps. There wasn’t a sign or anything to indicate the name of the business, but I did notice that the street view image was made in October 2015, only three months after my visit. And there was an entirely different ship* there! Because of my weird tendency and my complete ignorance about how long these sorts of things take, I was really surprised when I realized what was going on.
It doesn’t take much, some days.

*Or is it a boat? I really don’t know…
Down by the water
First of all, where I am from the term “river” does not necessarily imply “water.” So the idea that a river has enough water to have tides? That sort of messed with me. And this river has high tides, as it’s on the famous Bay of Fundy, home of the highest tides in the world.
And the other thing is that this reminded me of a song. You know the song I mean – Down by the Water by the Decemberists.

Red, as an accent color
Wait, what did I do here? Did I mean to post a color image?
Yes.
But only because I like the way those spots of red flow through the image, from the steps to the bands by the doorway, to the bench, to the boat to the quilt. And even to that dot of red on the sidewalk.
Nicely done, red things. Nicely done.
