Heron on the utility pole was half the story.

photos: Dec. 25, 2023. Flying just above the surf, two herons battle raced the length of Long Beach taking a turn at the Cape Ann Motor Inn bend then looping straight back behind the cottages above Saratoga Creek. They came to a stop with one on the utility pole and the other at the water’s edge. Ben Hur-ons 🙂

This holiday season was wonderful. Most of all I want to thank everyone who came to the local holiday shows and bought from local vendors. It is so important to buy local. Enjoyed seeing customers shop at our local retail stores and restaurants.
