Tuesday’s Adventure

I had a busy weekend New Jersey--it was nice to get away, but I'm back on duty now.

 

Then, Tuesday being my day off, I finally had a chance to visit 

Calvert Cliffs State Park on my way to orchestra rehearsal.  

I pass it on my way every Tuesday afternoon, but never had time to stop until now.

The shell hash on the beach is composed of 10 to 20 million-year-old fossils 

eroding from the cliffs.  It's a prime collecting spot for fossil sharks' teeth!

The cliffs are actively eroding, so there's not very much safe beach-combing area 

available to explore...

 

The long walk to the beach is lovely, taking you through beech and oak forest, 

and along swampy areas, which house a beaver colony!

 

My luck was out--no sharks' teeth today!
