[Journal entry for August 26, 2010] In the early morning I drive north along Route 123 on Harpswell Neck to Lookout Point. The day is clear, the tide is low and the two small, wooded islands by the boat launch are very picturesque. I walk across a short spit of sand that connects the islands to the mainland. They are hogbacks, one up-section from the other, in a meta-volcanic sequence with steeply dipping strata. The sun, being low in the east, has lit up the islands of Middle Bay beautifully. I walk around the circumference of each island, taking care not to slip on the plentiful yellow-green seaweed. I pass several large glacial erratic boulders and one stretch of rock pavement where the low sun angle has brought out glacial scratches. In addition to trees, the islands host many smaller plant species, including goldenrod, raspberry, blueberry and various grasses. About one-half hour.
