Haystack




Haystack is an extraordinary place
you have to make a pilgrimage to get there


the gaff-rigged ship of dreams sails by
from time to time


the fibre studio is a delight



we boiled our cauldrons by the sea
using tannin-rich water from a nearby brook

diving into the sea at the end of the day
water so cold it felt like fire

  5. Oh, Maine lives in me.... but I am too wimpy to swim in the fire-ocean there, you captured that feeling of the burn of that sea, isn't that just amazing?

  6. I agree w/Velma, you've captured Haystack beautifully. It looks unchanged since I was there in 1985.

  7. Oh Haystack, I've always hoped to go there, it's not so far from our Maine summer place either. Thanks for reminding me and giving a glimpse. I get to be in th eneighborhood in a few short weeks all the way from Alaska.

  8. Thank you for taking me back to the wonders of Haystack.... but, I never once felt the need to immerse my body in that cold, cold water. Magic place.

  9. There seems to be something of a 'linear' theme going on in all these magical pictures that you just posted. I wonder what that means. Doesn't even matter though...they are all melt-able. XO

  11. So Beautiful thank you for sharing. Made me think I need to go to the mountains here in Tasmania and get some water from the button grass plains.
