Photo: Shadows on the Southeast Lighthouse
Time to share a few more photos from a summer in isolation. Four island photos come first. The dishrack photo is to show how I spend my time there. (LOL. I am the one, alas, who said we should protect the groundwater and not have a dishwasher. Sometimes it’s better to be pragmatic than idealistic.)
Back on the mainland, the photos reflect my appreciation of colorful summer meadows, cows, and outdoor library fun for kids. No pictures of people. I do sometimes meet a friend at a safe distance for a sandwich and a chat, but masks never make for good photos. And in my walks, I generally aim for places where people are scarce, like graveyards.
I really liked the spooky-looking crypt and wish I could be Edgar Allan Poe for a minute and invent a reason that a lock was broken.
The long shadow in the next photo is in front of a local senior-living building.
Next comes a sign at Emerson Field that struck me as funny. No golfing? There was never any golfing there. What’s the story? Someone must have tried to get around the governor’s rules in coronavirus Phase One and gotten in the way of dog walkers. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in our town it’s you don’t want to mess with dog walkers.
I wonder what memories we will take away from this weird time. For me, a sign forbidding golfing where there was never golfing might be one.

he lighthouse looks cool. I like the Green Eggs and Ham walk.
Something fun for beginning readers while the library is still closed.
Seeing a lighthouse as the first picture you chose, beware! One of Susie’s cousins, Becki Willman is an avid photographer and recently posted a lighthouse picture. I sent her a photo I took and a painting by my Dad of the same structure. Everyone loves those iconic buildings!

Thank you for emailing your father’s painting. I keep forgetting about that side of him — a man of many interests and talents.
