Patiently waiting for the float at the Magnolia Pier

With the warmer weather coming, walking has been easier to be outside.  On the Pier, Tuesday, noticed how the ramp wants the summer to get here.

Blue Bench

This blue bench matches the blue sky and blue Magnolia Harbor.  The bench is popular to sit and watch ducks, sunset and people watching.

 

First sunset of Daylight Savings Time

As we were walking Shore Road on Sunday, the wind picked up again and the clouds covered the sun.  All of a sudden, the sky lit up.

Gloucester’s Man at the Wheel watching over Gloucester Harbor

Thatcher Island on a foggy day

Even on a foggy and soggy day, always carry my camera.  Took a walk on good Harbor Beach and Thatcher Island looked mysterious.

A late sunset

On Friday, the sunset group walked Shore Road with lots of clouds.  Could not see the planets, but all of a sudden, the sun made a glorious appearance.

Took a walk on Good Harbor Beach late afternoon on Thursday.  The weather was starting to improve.

Planets align

Planet parade 2025: what to know about catching the 7 planets align

The phenomenon known as a planetary parade is back as astronomers and stargazers prepare for what could be a dazzling display in the solar system this week.

The planetary parade — what appears to be a straight-line formation of several planets in the night sky — is expected to grace our night skies on Friday, Feb. 28.

While it won’t be easy to see the full lineup without binoculars or a telescope, it’s still possible to spot four or even five planets with the naked eye overhead in what NASA calls an “uncommon opportunity.”

A rare celestial event will take place on Friday, February 28, 2025, when seven planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align in the evening sky.

The sunset club will be out to hopefully see them.

Not great sun sets this week.

Even when it is cloudy at sunset, the walk on Shore Road is always a must.  The sunset on Tuesday was silvery.

Quiet and serene

Coolidge Reservation across from the Magnolia Landing is a Trustees Property.  You can take a great walk around Clark Pond, up to Ocean Lawn and also to Magnolia Beach.
