Seasons Have Their Magic — pat morss

Tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 4:21 is the winter solstice, bringing its own seasonal attributes.

Mostly dog walkers enjoy the fading-light solitude of Good Harbor Beach.
In contrast to a hot summer day in 1985.
Pretty much the same in 2016, except beach umbrellas were more popular.
Swimmers are not distracted by the view of Thacher Island’s twin lights.
Back to the peaceful present.
One of our winter residents taking a sunbath after a long swim, Brace Cove.
A lone female Ruddy Duck crosses monochrome Niles Pond.
While a Ring-billed Gull struts with purpose across a frozen portion.
A content Hooded Merganser pair.
He tests his hood diplay. “Just kidding; too early.”
A turkey showing off her aerodynamic shape. She can fly up to 55 mph.
Winter produces spectacular sunsets. ‘Sea Installer’ headed out from Salem.
Now it’s time to celebrate family and the Holiday Season.

Daybreak on the Harbor Loop

It was till dark when I woke up a day or two ago so I decided to chase the sunrise. I went down to the Harbor Loop to see our beloved Lobster Trap Tree at the break of day. Except for the ever present drone and a couple of early morning walkers, I found myself alone as the dawn broke.

I noticed several tags attached to traps which I presume are a result of the fundraising campaign to “Tag A Trap” which you can find at this link if you are interested. Thank you sponsors and event organizers for this beautiful testament to our local fishing industry.
