Fall colors
This year the colors of trees have not been as vibrant as in previous years due to the lack of rain. But going by Buswell Pond on Tuesday did show some reflection and colors.

As the rain and wind were making a statement on Monday
Monday was rainy, windy and dreary, but the waves and tide were fun.
Went by the back Shore and the Boulevard. The tide was so high, falling off the greasy pole would be easy.

3 hours after high tide on Sunday
Looking at the ocean as the tide was going out, you can see a storm coming in.

Awesome waves and wind
Monday was a major stormy day. Lots of rain, wind waves. Took a walk but it was very windy, thought I might blow away. Always careful but do like a good storm.

Before the storm
A few days before the storm, the beach was deserted and only a couple of boats still in the water.

Surprising sunset
After a rainy day on Wednesday, I was in my office and looked out the window and there it was, red sky. Hurried down to the Magnolia Pier to catch the sunset. Grateful.

Rafe’s Chasm
Since we live in Magnolia Village of Gloucester, walking to Rafe’s Chasm is another blessing. The woods open up to a beautiful ocean view.

Rafe’s Chasm, ~10 Ac.
Permanently protected by the City of Gloucester.
Trail Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Length:
Rafe’s Chasm Park was sold by the Trustees of Reservation in 1959 to the City of Gloucester for one dollar.
This 10 acre park runs from Hesperus Avenue to the rock along the shoreline, with views of Norman’s Woe rock to the northeast and Kettle Island to the southwest.
Rafe’s Chasm is located on private land about fifty yards outside of Rafe’s Chasm Park. PLEASE OBSERVE ALL “PRIVATE PROPERTY” POSTINGS.
Originally identified as Rafe’s Crack, this large rock fissure was finally noted as Rafe’s Chasm on maps beginning in the 1850s.
It is said that the name comes from a freed slave named Ralph who settled near the Chasm and built many of the rock walls that remain along HesperusAvenue.
Visiting the chasm became a popular tourist attraction after the Civil War.
