Bailey Island in Fog

An island hides in fog as the tide ebbs and flows.

Murk, mud, shells, seaweed and pebbles emerge from shoals.

Tidal pools harbor hermit crabs, tickling toes.

An offshore storm swallows the shore.  Thunder moans.

Blog Watch on ocean/island photography:

• Les @ Tidewater Gardener vacationed at Ocracoke Island in Virginia  
• Delwyn @ a hazy moon visited Hell's Gate in Australia
• Elizabeth @ World Examining Works spotted an old red fireboat off New York

Magazine watch: I sold a couple of my landscape photographs to a new magazine, Mainely Spirits. If you’re in Maine in August, pick up a free copy at stores (including supermarkets) that sell liquor.
