We went to the Quincy Quarries reservation today, a former granite quarry that is now public land managed by the department of conservation and recreation. There was cool stuff to photograph before we even left the parking area.

( But wait, it gets much better. )

We had ourselves a little adventure at the Quincy Seashore. There were many opportunities for noticing things and making discoveries along the beach and in the salt marsh. We found this tiny shark, which I can't identify because I didn't at the time know what field markings to look for. I did a little research and I think next time I'll have a chance. It's probably a spiny dogfish.



There are eight more photographs, including another dead thing that might be a little harder to look at than this well-picked over fish. Standard dead animal warning. (It's not that bad, but I thought you should know). There's also a panorama that might push the edges of your page around.( Read more... )

We realized yesterday that, it being November, we could take the dogs to the beach. We went to a tidal river park, a salt marsh park, and a seashore park. This is the salt marsh.
