Hamilton Beach, Maine

Hamilton Cove is a lovely cove, just a short hike off the highway near Cutler. There are nature trails that lead along the coastline to the east. But I was content to plunk myself there, backing up to the bank in the back to get a bit of shade from the burning sun. It was a lovely day but the weather on the sea was unsettled. I watched the fog gradually move across the island in the distance, managing to capture about half of it before it was totally lost in fog. A couple of pre-teen boys were playing near the brook around the beach to my left. Although I could hear their voices, and except for a word or two here and there, I could not make out what they were saying. I was fascinated that two young boys could spend all day just throwing rocks into a brook. What fabulous summer memories they will have of Hamilton Cove in their adult years!
