Low Down on the Assabet

Quite a contrast between last Saturday's paddling in the choppy ocean waters off of Cape Ann and today's paddling along a tranquil Assabet River in Concord.

The inscription at Egg Rock was found to be high and dry.  In fact finding water deep enough to paddle in the Assabet was challenging in places.


These Cardinal flowers served as a reminder of how our summer is getting long in the tooth...

 The day's hot temperatures brought this white-tailed deer to the river's edge...

More real estate than usual at Willow Island...
