Peaks Island, Maine... Day #2
Today was really about appreciating the coast of Maine. I first visited Maine when I was 20 years-old and since then have spent a considerable about of time here. It still remains one of the prettiest places I have ever seen.
Seaweed is visible in the early morning while the tide is out. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.
Beach stones are fun to look at, fun to hold, fun to collect and free for the taking. If anyone is really interested in learning more about beach stones, I recommend a book called 'Beach Stones.' It is written by Margaret Carruthers with photographs by Josie Iselin. It's a neat guide to use while exploring the rocky coast. A quote that I pulled from the book..."For most stones, the beach is just the latest stop on a journey that began eons ago."
