The recent spell of great weather was fast coming to an end on Sunday morning. Forecasters were predicting a brief lull between early morning showers and a warning for high wind gusts which would take effect at 11 am. This allowed me just enough time to enjoy a quick paddle down the Concord River to Buttrick's Hill and back.
The Old North Bridge (above photo) had a decidedly barren and wintry look. A little downstream of the bridge were the droppings some shore fishermen have left behind...
It didn't look like much at first but ended up containing 5 fishing bobbers, 2 reels of fishing line, a can and a plastic bottle both wound with coiled fishing line, plastic bags with food/tackle packaging, several fish hooks, and a steak knife...all left at water's edge within site of the Old North Bridge. Just can't understand how someone could walk away after doing this.
Reaching my turnaround point at Buttricks Hill I thought of how a little smoke rising from this cabin's smoke pipe would have completed the scene and mood...
Egg Rock looked a lot less friendly than it looked on Saturday...
The morning's trash haul...
