Barnes Landing is a little known and little visited cove on the shores of Middle Bay in Brunswick, Maine. I went here on September 6th to count birds for World Shorebirds Day. As the clouds and mist rolled in and the wind sprang up, I felt I was alone in the world in a wild place where the lines of Longfellow’s poem sprang to mind about “the forest primeval” and such. It is the sort of place where one feels the need of a weathervane or compass to guide your way, where all nature is close and ready to offer you gifts if you are receptive to her voice.
A lovely photo essay, Kathie. It looks like another lovely spot to go birding in Maine.
ReplyDeletehappy wanderer, it is, indeed, lovely, peaceful and serene.
DeleteWow! What a beautiful area to go exploring. Love the sandpiper's colours. The different textures and colours on the rocks and beach are amazing. By the way, Kathie I received the same awful comment today as you! He must be trying lots of bloggers to see who will publish it.
