A week of waves, and the Egrets are Everywhere — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Arriving home from Norway we were greeted by a week of wind and waves, and the Egrets (and Herons) had taken over Niles Pond.

Waves were not large, but persistent for days with continuous wind
A trawler bucking the swells, outbound
A visiting square-rigged schooner coasting in
Finding a calm anchorage inside Dogbar breakwater
The Flying Wallendas, Jet-ski style
In quiet waters, a Snowy Egret on Niles Pond
A larger cousin, one of 4 Great Egrets, executes a one-footed feather fluff
Then down to business with some serious fishing
No success, so I’ll try another part of the pond
Our First Family of Mallards in the early evening light

Cape Ann Blossoms Today at Cape Ann Museum

Posted on by Pat D

Cape Ann Blossoms A Celebration of Spring will be open for its last day today Sunday May 15 from 10 AM – 5 PM at the Cape Ann Museum on Pleasant Street and I would encourage you to go! The Museum has paired local floral designers with works of art held in the Museum and challenged them to create floral pieces to complement the art. Genius! Gorgeous! As I have mentioned, I am a sucker for spring flowers so this exhibit drew me right in and I was not disappointed. You are encouraged to make a reservation unless you are already a member. Tickets available here. It’s beautifully done and I encourage you to stop by today. I do have a favorite but that’s my secret to keep……
