The horse shoe crab would roll itself up and let the tide take it in. Then, it would lay flat once it moved up the shore and near some rocks. Here is a link to their fascinating lives: Horse Shoe Crab

This particular evening the water was really warm and there were quite a few people still swimming as the sun went down.

After noticing these pictures I never posted, it got me thinking about the contrast of weather. Currently it is so very cold and snowy.  I’m not yearning for summer, but it’s nice to know it will be here again.

It’s been a while since the beaches opened up and here in Maine I noticed that the ocean had a much greener hue to it than usual. There were intense heat waves this Spring that must have been good conditions for phytoplankton. The temperature of the water was surprisingly warm for June, yet hardly any people and no one swimming.

Watching the sun going down over the ocean was pretty sweet, since I usually see it going in the opposite direction in New Hampshire.

This is dog city. One in every two people in San Francisco have a dog. Not really, it seemed that way though. While there, I felt like I should have had a four legged friend as well.
