Little birdie

This little bird hit my front door on Thursday.  I picked this little one up and let the stun of hitting the window go away.   After a few minutes the little bird was able fly away.

Before and after a glorious sunset

Sunday was another New England day.  Rain, wind and then there was another incredible surprise sunset.

Before the sun went down.

Maple the giraffe

When Rick and I went to Disney in October it was so much fun.  Of course, one of my favorites was staying right at Animal Kingdom.   The animals roam around the preserve free and happy.  We took a photo safari and saw so many wonderful animals.  This giraffe, Maple, was one of my favorites.  She came right up to the Safari truck and looked right at me.  Took her photo and put this on a hanging blanket.  Just love her face and her gentle spirit.

Glad I always have my camera with me.  Also thank you Kimberly, my daughter for the photo.

Incredible Sculptures by Gloucester’s own, Kris Francis

When driving down Magnolia Avenue the beautiful Sculptures from Horseshoes and Repurposed Metal by local artist Kris Francis, always makes you want to look carefully at this amazing piece of art.

On Saturday, talked with Kris and he told me that there is about 900 horseshoes and this horse weighs almost 800 pounds.  The eyelashes are made from horseshoe nails.  Kris is a very kind and talented artist.  The detail of the eyes, mouth, ears and tails are clear.   You can find his information on Instagram JKFmetal.  Thank you, Kris, for talking with me today.
