NATURE RARER USES YELLOW
Day three of the October nor’easter so rather than post more photos of dreary gray skies and wind and waves, here’s a sunny yellow photo to lift your spirits.

Loving this weather because it’s providing an opportunity to sort through the multitude of butterfly photos shot in September and October 🙂
The Magnolia Pier looks very great
Through the last three days of relentless wind and waves, the construction of the Magnolia Pier looks great.

The first movie is a short 1910 Thomas Edison photo-play, the first motion picture version of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. This silent movie features sophisticated special effects for its time. Unsuspecting audiences were dazzled when it was released. Now nearly 110 years old, this rarely-seen film continues to amaze audiences with its powerful visuals.
