(continued)

Mouse Island bedecked with spring violets. Hard to see the blooms in this photo, though.

A mainly moss covered rock in The Weed (name subject to change), just east of Grey Seal and No Title Spring. There’s a black ant dragging what appears to be a caterpillar larvae across the central, bare region. From now on, perhaps, this will be Caterpillar Rock made famous by the brave black ant named John Gray, or maybe Sgt. John Gray. His ant home, damaged by my tromping this day unfortunately, may be called Brooksville if so. And if so, he and his colleagues also probably know of Norumbega or Norum and the attached No Title Spring. I don’t know why they wouldn’t.

Nearby rock with interesting, heart shaped moss formation.

The Pile, so named because it consists solely of a large pile of rocks. Did farmers of olden days create this pile after clearing fields? Or is this something pre-white man. Indian I’m talking about here. And of course there’s always The Aliens to consider.

Sitting atop Grey Seal taking in the landscape. Very nice — lots to see (including a floating tree centering the below photo, not noticed before).

A branch formation in The Weed reminding me of the spinning Manchester, England statue in a recent Falmouth series collage. Do you see the resemblance?

Many more Whitehead Crossing pictures still to come this month!
