 Taken at Bell's Neck, on the herring river, a place that many of you may know courtesy of Robert's ( Bear_music's) photographs. Swung the camera horizontally during this late evening exposure. The dark area in the background is trees and marshes and the dark area in the middle is a patch of marsh grasses. The river meanders extensively between here and Nantucket sound. At this point it almost does a U turn.

"Away from the roll of the sea," lullaby by A. MacG, Cape Breton - this very line comes to mind. BUT I am enchanted by the posthumid piano story. Stunning conception.

The jazz man went to the Zen master seeking enlightenment.

"Oh Master, I lost my enlightenment," he said.

"There's a piano out back," answered the master.

The musician went to the back of the house and returned.

"There is no piano," he said.

"Did you lose the piano?" asked the master.

And at that moment, the jazz man regained enlightenment.
