RECENT NIGHTS

Has anyone stayed up lately to see how beautiful the moon has been over the water? Last night around 11PM the reflection was so clear, and the water so calm, it was as though there was an outside light turned on somewhere. Straight across the pond lay the beam of light like a beacon from the heavens. The loons were certainly happy as they sang late past the midnight hour.

But something happened around 2:56am. I heard the sounds through the open windows - loud and long enough to awaken me and I looked as the digital clock by my bedside. It sounded as though a small dog had been hurt. The cries went on for several minutes. It was in the distance but clear and disturbing.

Sights and sounds from the Maine woods.
