A few more places visited this week ...
A beach at the mouth of the Saco River, just off the University of New England campus. Nice real estate.
Looking southwest from Five Islands, towards the remnants of tropical storm Danny.
The view from Camden Hills over Camden harbor and out to sea.
I've been spending much of my vacation at Popham beach. Summer has finally arrived and the swimming and body surfing have been great ...
On the west section of the beach you have to ford (or swim) across the Morse River to get to the main part of the beach, where the surf is. It looks serene here, but it can have a strong current on the outgoing tide. It's fun to ride on if you walk down to where the river exits the marshes.
At low tide, you can walk to Fox Island. But you don't want to miss the window for returning, as it would be a long wait, and the cross currents make it impossible to swim back.
Farther out to sea, Seguin Island is iconic to all Popham visitors, and all mariners in this part of the Gulf of Maine.
Finally, what the beach looks like from my towel ...
Ahhhhh .....
Here are a couple of pictures from a recent visit to Popham Beach. It was low tide. The Morse River has changed course again, so we could walk out to the near island. In this photo, Seguin Island (with the lighthouse on it) looks like it's rising out of the near island.
You can tell summer has arrived by the humidity (haze) in the air.
