Thanksgiving Animals — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Here’s a look at some of our neighbors during Thanksgiving season.

This fly has opted for indoors, and is fascinated watching me at my computer.
House Sparrows forever greet us at low altitude on our walks.
Red-tailed Hawk, before three boisterous crows dispatched him further down our path.
Hooded Mergansers have returned to Niles Pond and look thankfully relaxed.
A Double-crested Cormorant figures the pond is quieter than the ocean.
The seals are at Brace Cove for the winter. The one in the middle has a bloody red face.
Mabe it had an encounter with this one, a couple of rocks over (head at left).
This coyote’s misfortune was deadly. Seen here after several high tides.
A handsome white-tailed buck stared me down in our yard.
His doe was watching patiently from the bushes behind him.
Another day another doe. “How do I look in red?”
A welcome walk and a red sunset after our extended Thanksgiving lunch.

Rick and I went to my brother’s house for Thanksgiving with family.  My siter in law, Peggi, is very talented from her great food to crafts.  She had butter in the shape of a turkey and made me a terrific ceramic Christmas tree.  My fun brother Paul has a 3D printer and made us all ornaments.

Deck The Halls At Hammond Castle

Posted on by Pat D

We decided to visit Hammond Castle on Hesperus Ave and take a look at their Deck The Halls display. Did you know that Hammond Castle offers Gloucester residents free entry on Tuesdays? So we went last Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to note how many others had the same idea. We saw some familiar Gloucester faces as well as a notable number of other visitors. The display is up until Jan 4 as well as in the evenings on Thursdays through December. I am sure it is extra pretty in the evening. It’s a great idea for visiting family! Tickets and more info at this link.

As you can see here, it’s very beautiful and peaceful to stroll through seeking the many ways every corner has been filled with holiday cheer.
