There’s a story behind these photos: Robin & I were in Boothbay Harbor the other evening. We had noticed two young women—dressed very fashionably and sporting carefully applied makeup—taking selfie after selfie of themselves in various places around town. We were on the footbridge across the harbor, and the two women were there, taking selfies of course. As they passed us, a yellow flower fell out of one woman’s hair and onto the bridge. Robin picked up the flower—smelling of the woman’s perfume—and tossed it onto the water. As we watched it drift, we noticed the contrails reflected in the water. Photography ensued…
