Normally, other than saying a place name such as Cape Breton or Point Michaud etc., I do not try to get to specific about where my photos were taken but since the beach at Pt. Michaud itself is public I wanted to give some reference as to my 25 August photographs as I walked around the point itself. I parked the old truck at the beach parking lot and then Elijah and I started walking out westward along the beach toward the isthmus and eventually the island-like mass of the point itself for a great afternoon of sights and sounds and nice photographic memories of my day. Lots of people at the east end of the beach, swimming, surfing, setting, playing and all those seashore activities but they thinned rapidly as I walked the low-tides edge along the sand. One young lady came jogging strongly up and past me headed toward the eastern edge of the point where the low tide had exposed many meters of rippled flats covered with killdeer, pipers, gulls and just birds galore. I was impressed by her stamina as running in sand, even the water packed sand of low tide, is more difficult than running on hard ground or macadam surfaces. But she headed back when the sand flats edged into rocky shore and about where I headed across the isthmus just behind the two small ponds that you can see on the map just to the left of the words 'Point Michaud'. The last blog entry "Wild Wave Tossed Boulders" were taken somewhere around the "o" (either one, as these are rough designations) of 'Carlos Cove'. I will try to post future photographs in order heading around the point from the western beach in a counter-clockwise (widdershins I believe you can say) direction.
