As I wandered around the pot yard in Newport, it began raining harder and harder and so we left to go to the library. Then, during a brief break in the weather, we headed back again so I could shoot some more. Chris had plenty to read, and I had plenty to shoot — perfect combo. (And it doesn't hurt that Chris has plenty of patience!) The skies were fairly dark and the buoys just gleamed.This time of year, as everyone's gearing up for crab season, is one of my favorites. I'm a sucker for color and repeating patterns, and there's no end to them here. I could visit every day for two weeks, finding something new each time.
And the final photo shows the F/V Timmy Boy, loaded up with pots (at least 300 of them), leaving the loading dock to go back and wait until it's time to set the pots. May it be a successful season for these hard-working folks. ©Carol Leigh
