On Monday evening was able to catch this photo of the full moon two days prior to the Blood Moon.
Please remember when you see a seal injured or fine, they get very stressed when people get to close to them. The New England Aquarium has been called.
On Sunday Rick and I decided to go kayaking down the Essex River out to Ipswich Bay. Had my small waterproof camera and was able to get a quick shot of an Osprey Nest. The color of the water with the marsh was amazing.
During Sails and Trails went to the Cape Pond Ice Tour. Even though I have taken this tour many times, every time I Go, seem to enjoy it more. Thank you Cape Pond Ice Company.
This Blue Heron was hanging out in the same spot all day on Tuesday.
What a great day to volunteer and enjoy this fun event. As always had a great time and these bikers get me motivated.
