Love walking the pier at sunset. The designs from the sun are fun to see.

What a great day on Saturday visiting the ice sculptures, retail stores and restaurants participating in this fun event. Even though it was chilly, lots of people walking around and enjoying this event. Of course, visiting our fabulous Cape Ann Museum. Every time we visit the Museum, we enjoy it more and more.

When walking on Shore Road, saw Phil Keating taking a swim. Phil has plunged in the cold water before. He is a very nice guy and very funny. Congratulations to Phil for doing what most of us would run to a heated car.
It was getting dark and windy, so the photos are a little grainy.


The sun was reflecting off of this special bench the other night.


Come on down to the Third Annual “Gloucester’s So Salty” happening this weekend, Saturday, January 20th and Sunday, January 21 st from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
There’s something for everyone- from ice sculptures to art activities to sea shanties galore. The link is in our bio- check it out!
In the evening there is a group of us that walk Shore Road to witness the Magnolia winter sunsets. Love this group and sharing Mother Nature at her best.

The snow makes the trees and sun look so pretty.

Taking a walk down at Maritime Gloucester day before Saturday’s storm.

Went over to Annisquam on Sunday afternoon. The weekend was an example of crazy New England weather.


The footbridge took a beating during the storm yesterday, but still standing. Planks are missing and the bridge is closed.


Same night different looks.

Walked Shore Road and the waves, ocean and wind were amazing. Took some photo, this one shows the power of the ocean.

Day after all the rain at Niles Beach.
