June 20, 2017, Tuesday — Montague Harbour —

I was up early this morning, hoping to get a paddle in.  It was raining, but by the time I got myself together, the rain had stopped and conditions were perfect.

I headed out to the south point of the harbor and started paddling along the shoreline, looking for critters.  The tide was pretty low, offering countless breakfast choices for this raccoon I came across.

When I spotted these lines along the shore, I thought they were man-made, but found them to be rock that has eroded in this perfect pattern.

This beautiful heron was busy catching fish.

Looks like someone didn’t read their tide tables.

Low tides are always the best for finding sea creatures, like this anemone and sea star.

It really felt good to be back exploring again.
