Storm

Rain drawn in a grey curtain across the far shore.
One sailboat at anchor as the storm comes on at dusk.

Still water

Old pilings and a sunken hull at low tide on a grey April day.
The sun goes down orange behind the old pilings and a mast.
A double rainbow over the riverside park after the rain.
Leaning posts doubled in mirror-calm water at dusk.
Bare trees standing in the high river as the light goes.
A frosted dock at dawn, ducks on the rippled water.

Rainbow

Storm clouds build over the river and the bridge tower.
A double rainbow arcs over the bridge and the far shore.

Fog, snow and ice

A long bridge laid low across the river in morning fog.
Pack ice drifting under dark wooded bluffs.
The Walkway's steel fading into the fog over the river.
Snow on the rail line along the river, the Walkway lost in fog beyond.
Sun glitter on broken ice below the bridge.
A bridge span dissolving into white fog over a mirror river.
Snow falling on the waterfront bandstand and its willow.
A ring crack drawn in the pale river ice under flat fog.
Snow and river ice by the stone boathouse.

Dawn and dusk

Geese and gulls crowd the shallows, lifting off into the fog.
A gold sun breaks through over the misty ridge, doubled in the river.
Sunset through broken cloud over the river.
A willow, small boats and duckweed along the shore under storm cloud.
Pilings black against the last light over the Highlands.
A wooded point and the wide grey river at dawn.
A red sun on the ridge line over tall seed grass.
Two camp chairs facing the low sun and its path across the water.
One white sail drifting across a wide grey river.
A rowing eight glides through the mist under the Walkway's black truss.
A schooner's white sails through the maple leaves.

After dark

A full moon over the lit bridge, its path laid across the black water.
A lamp post and icy rocks before the bridge at night.
The bridge tower against an orange sky, doubled in the river.
Dock posts and rope before the bridge at a grey dusk.
