Here you see part of the Brooklin Boat Yard pier and docking float on Sunday’s glorious afternoon. I have to wonder how many lines and angles, especially right angles, live in this little space? How many measurements went into forming and relating these differing sized and shaped planes, not to mention nails, screws, and bolts?

It made me shudder in remembrance of my brain-sizzling trials with geometry and trigonometry; but then, I focused on the happy little green-trimmed, yellow skiff cheerfully sticking her bright nose into the monochromatic orderliness. (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on August 31, 2025.)
