Monday Morning Haze

Monday Morning Haze

This is the view from the end of our road. Every day there’s something different happening here. On this morning, the sun was peeking through the fog, the tide partly out, and two Great Blue Herons lounging on the mudflats. Of course, my camera was back on the...
Friday Distractions

Friday Distractions

I love Fridays. They are my work from home day. I can wake without the alarm and roll out of bed to enjoy coffee at my desk. My routine involves a pattern of working and puttering, working and puttering. My puttering might be doing the dishes, laundry, taking Gidget...
Chasing Rainbows

Chasing Rainbows

Hannah and I spied this rainbow when leaving an after work meeting tonight. Generally heading toward home, we followed the rainbow, looking for better views. You can just see the second rainbow here. And here, the clouds eclipse the colors. Perhaps the best shot of...
Buttercups!

Buttercups!

Here’s little pop of beauty on this otherwise cold, damp, dreary summer day (I think we hit a high of 60 degrees F). At first glance I thought this was a field of dandelions, but it’s actually millions of tiny buttercup flowers.

Pushing Out the Calm Before the Storm

Pushing Out the Calm Before the Storm

It was such a beautiful day. Crisp, clear blue skies belied the monster storm barreling toward New England. Late this afternoon as I passed the blueberry barrens the front edge of the storm was clearly visible – pushing out that calm before the storm.
Crescent Moon

Crescent Moon

A rising crescent moon vying for attention with the setting sun. My iPhone doesn’t do the scene justice.
Winter Barrens

Winter Barrens

The red, white, and blue of this expanse of snow driven blueberry barren caught my eye this afternoon. I didn’t have my camera with me, but then I remembered my iPhone so I made a u-turn in the middle of the road to go back and snap these pictures. It’s a...
