Blue sunset

The sunset on Thursday evening was very blue.  The clouds were arriving for the dreary weather on Friday.

Keith Visits The Lobster Trap Tree

I hope you can tolerate one more Lobster Trap Tree post but Keith insisted on stopping by and having his photo taken. As you may be aware, the new location is between the Harbormaster’s Office and the Coast Guard Station on the Harbor Loop. Such a festive, well constructed tree decorated with buoys painted by locals. Don’t forget you can Tag a Trap if you’d like to help financially.

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.
