Will the sun ever come up?
Sitting at my desk this morning at 7AM and wondering if it will ever get here. The sky is crystal clear with a breeze; temperature 7 degrees. With the snow it is already plenty bright enough to see, but still. On the upside it is above zero. I wait for the sun to peek over the horizon and give us all the strength it can muster to warm things up a little.

This great shot was taken on a Scenic Maine Coast boat tour last summer by one of my clients. It was a very foggy morning and the seals surfaced very near the boat curious about who was near their ledge. Thank you, Daniel, for sharing the image.
It is the practical end of my season, the boat went to be winterized last Friday. I was hoping for one last fishing trip on a warm afternoon in the next few weeks. A possibility that looked less likely with every passing day. This was a great year to be sure even though it ended on a sad note. Our winter wood is in all stacked and ready. I noticed today that I am making more frequent trips to the pile in the garage.
