West Island Fairhaven MA

For todays post I will share some photos from an early morning walk I took on West island In Fairhaven, MA, I have visited there a few times and normally walked along the beach, which I did start with that morning while it was pretty dark, walking along the beach I met a guy walking along, who said he was surprised to see two people taking photos that morning and told me someone else was taking photos a little further down the beach.
I wondered if it was a photographer I have meet a few times out and about in the area and sure enough it was, we chatted a bit and then he headed off the beach into the marshes behind the sand dunes, and I decided to head that way as well.
and thats what I will focus on for this post

Starting with a photo of Tom

There weren't many or any for that matter clouds i the sky that morning so the sunrise colors were subdued so it was a good day to check the trails on this side of the dunes

Looking over the marshes
Approximately two-thirds of West island is forest. Water and sewage restrictions have limited its growth, which I think is kind of a good thing

I really enjoyed exploring this area, and will do again another day sometime

As the sun came up some nice warm colors came out on the horizon
