Often confused with a type of grass, Blue-eyed Grass is actually a member of the Iris family.
Imported topsoil probably brought this European invader.  It can be found on the west side of Pointe Aux Pins. Its a mustard with four tiny petals.  Near the base of the plant can be found white hairs.  Hoary means white haired.

Morning Harbor shot
From the left, the brothers Matt, Philip, Sandy, Tom, and their father H.A. Shannon.  We've lost my father, Tom, his brother Sandy and my grandfather, H.A.  My father once wrote a song about how rich BBI has made all our lives, asking from the beach "I wonder what the poor people are doing back home?'
Old barn and out building slowly crumbling to earth.  The old farm house is not seen but it too was abandoned and in disrepair.  If only you could hear the stories of the people who built the barn, farmed the land, and lived their lives.
