Friday Snapshot: Portland, Maine

Mussels in a row, Portland, Maine

Down by the Maine State Pier, just off to the left across from the Narrow Gauge Railroad, is a marina where a sailing school is based and marine maintenance work is done. On one of my acquaintance walks, where I was wandering around getting to know my new home, I came on this large beam covered in black, shiny mussels. The beam must have just been removed from the ocean for cleaning. I thought it was fascinating to see so many of these little crustaceans and realize that they were living beings.

      Thanks Casey! Whenever I move to a new place, I always take a walk around the place to get acquainted, and my camera never leaves my side. This shot is why!
