Day 119 - a Year by the Sea
April 29, 2007 by OrientSee.
This is the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in Wells, Maine. It’s sort of a revelation to a city boy. Here’s a marsh without plastic bags snagged in the trees, large jet aircraft flying overhead or packs of dogs on the run. Mind you now that Belle Isle is a special place for me but this is seeing Belle Isle a hundred years ago. It’s visiting a cathedral after being used to a church that sits a hundred people. I plan to make a pilgrimage again this summer just to visit this marsh. We were up in Maine to spend a few days in an inn. The service was wonderful and the food was an instructive sermon on the dangers of gluttony. I have never had such a wonderful meal but it was a sensory overload. Today, I got to see my first Great Blue Heron of the season and my first ever meadowlark (thanks, Soheil) back here. It too was a delight.
Ciao!
