Tottman Cove Walk
 I took a walk to the Tottman Cove Preserve (part of the Phippsburg Land Trust) today at low tide. It was a beautiful Fall day, with temperatures in the upper fifties and mostly clear skies. I can’t get over how low the sun is at noon-time, compared to where it was when we lived in North Carolina. That is what happens when you go north! |
 Next I went around the rocks and walked up the muddy bed of North Creek. Not much to it at low tide! I will have to pay attention to the tide charts in the future so that when I start kayaking and boating I do not get caught out on the water. |
 I spotted a little bird, digging for its lunch. I did not see any little critters, but I saw plenty of the holes in the sand that indicate that a clam is down there, siphoning away. |
 Here is a hunting blind that looks like it got a little wind-blown when the remains of Hurricane Noel came through a couple of days ago. There were a lot of dog tracks around the sand in this spot, and someone had walked by before I did, following the tracks of a deer. |
 Finally, I took a shot of the marsh pond on my way back out. I am thinking that there might be some fun little critters in here come spring-time that will go into my native aquarium that I am planning on putting together. I will be coming back here soon with my kayak, to explore the cove and see what kind of trip it is from here up North Creek to the Cottage. At high tide, of course! |
I also need to go back and find the geocache that I just found out is stashed here. (or was, as of Oct 2004)
