Day 7.193: Spring Point

On Sunday, after a relaxing day recovering from our super-busy Saturday, we eventually ventured out in the mid-afternoon. We went to walk the Spring Point Shoreway trail, starting with a stroll along the beach at Simonton Cove. I'd been to Spring Point previously, but this time there was no trace of ice on the rock causeway (I wonder why!?) and we were able to make it out to the lighthouse - a small one not unlike the next one up the coast - the Bug Light.

On the way back, with the dramatic clouds lifting, we had a good view to the lighthouse to the south - the Portland Head Light - and, with a bit of patience and a sense of rhythm, I was able to capture it mid-flash.


As you can see, we also saw a monarch butterfly and a large as-yet-unidentified duck.
