We popped up to Popham

Seguin Island Light

you can see right through its nostrils

Kemmer wanted to be on a beach for her birthday, so we brought her up to Popham Beach State Park. The overcast Friday crowd was almost nonexistent. The waves were high, the gulls were hungry, and there was a lighthouse a little ways off shore.

Beachin' to the Choir

 Carrie had got word of a Meetup with some people of similar interests down in Kittery Point on Seapoint Beach. I tagged along so I could play with my new camera. The parking lot was for local residents only, but fortunately there was some other parking available not too far away. We were early and went wading. Eventually Carrie put on her suit and went swimming.

As you can see, the place wasn't very crowded, in spite of it being a sunny summer Sunday. Even the Meetup drew only one other person. One end of the beach was clogged with seaweed, but there was plenty of uncluttered sandy shore to enjoy.

I must admit, however, that I find the rocky shores more visually interesting. So while Carrie was busy with chatting, swimming, and burning, I wandered out to the edges and climbed around on rocks.

 

Carrie also fed the gulls.

The Tide Is High

Kemmer came out to visit us today, so we went out to Cousin's Island and hit the beach. It was a long narrow sandy strip that stuck way out into the water and we noticed, as we were out at the very tip, that the tide was coming in!

Sunday Toppings

Carrie and I had Sunday off together again, so we did some grocery shopping then took Pandora and headed up to look at the Basin Cove Falls off South Harpswell on the Harpswell Peninsula. They look more like some very short rapids than falls. But it was an interesting beach covered in shale and mussels.
