At Pat D’s suggestion a few days ago on GMG, Anne-Lise and I took one of the last afternoon Essex River Cruises before they closed this weekend for the winter.
Starting down the river from the Essex causeway, toward Essex Bay and the Atlantic.Cormorants, who may have beheaded this owl “scarecrow.”One of several Great Blue Herons along the shore.A family out on the river enjoying the last warm weather.A couple of clam diggers, with the Castle Hill Crane Estate beyond, on Plum IslandSoaking up the sun on a sandbar, exposed at low tide.Kayakers on Essex Bay heading out to fish; Atlantic beyond.Around the corner from Wingarsheek and Coffins Beaches, Annisquam.Turning back inland, Cormorants take over a sandbar beach.Our guests view ruins along privately owned Corn Island as the sun gets lower.A clam digger gets to appreciate the fall colors.This is back-breaking work.Back at the dock, just before sunset, and Halloween.
