DOG SNARLING AT SEAL PHOTO- HOW NOT TO TREAT WILDLIFE
The woman in the above picture was trying to capture a photo of her dog and the seal together. A friend of mine took the photo late last winter at a local Massachusetts beach and shared it. The seal was terrified and the woman appears to be oblivious to her snarling dog. I was in the area earlier that day when she was asked twice by an Audubon employee to stop disrupting a Snowy Owl.
It’s that time of year when Snowy Owls begin to arrive from the Arctic and a time of year when we may be fortunate enough to see a seal hauled out on the beach. Seals are only on the beach to rest, to recuperate, or to escape the jaws of a shark. NOAA’s rule of thumb is to keep at least 50 yards (150 feet) away from a hauled out seal.
If you make a Snowy fly, you are too close.
Please show your love for our local wildlife. Thank you ❤

Gloucester Memories
The dreary weather has me digging through old memories and I came up with this gem from 1958 showing me rocking a Gloucester shirt…….even then……
I have previously posted this picture taken in our grandparents’ backyard in 1966 but it’s appropriate today to say Happy Birthday to my brother Chris! I have pretty clear memories of this visit so long ago. I hope he does as well. Happy Birthday brother!
