River Rest
A pair of cormorants rest on a red buoy in calm waters of the Kennebec off Hallowell. Their presence highlights the way wildlife and human markers coexist in shared spaces
Two birds. One buoy. Quiet balance
Two cormorants share a perch on a weathered red buoy, one upright and vigilant, the other resting closer to the water’s edge. The scene captures the intersection of human navigation and the quiet rhythm of bird life, suspended between movement and pause.
Silent companions,
resting on the water’s mark,
time flows all around.
