On Sunday we went down to Hill's Beach in Biddeford. This is where we used to go to collect shells, seaweed, and drift wood for the Shorescapes.If you click on this picture to enlarge it you can see an island straight across the sand bar that has a stone cairn on it. That is Basket Island. It's about a mile across the bar at low tide.
Getting closer!
It looks like a lot of water between here and there but it is only two inches deep at low tide.
When we first came up on the island we saw this sculpture made of lobster traps and drift wood that had washed up on the rocks.
The island is covered with various types of flowers. We don't know what these are.
A white Rugosa Rose
Aha!

Aha!What we came looking for!
The stone cairn.
Beach peas we think.
Red Rugosa Roses.
This is the far side of the island from the first picture. It's as far as we went that day before turning back to beat the incoming tide.
A view from the road as the tide marches in on it's mission to make The Land of the Stone Cairn an island once again.
The stone cairn.A navigation aide?
This island does pretty much mark the entrance to the Saco River.
