Talking a walk on Magnolia Beach from Coolidge Reservation

Another beauty of a late afternoon walk.  After sitting too long working I decided to go to Coolidge Reservation.  What a treat it is up there and then took a walk toward Magnolia Beach.  The waves were loud and soothing and the sun again amazing.  So grateful.

“A Plan To Keep Dogtown Wild And Free
GLOUCESTER, MA – MARCH 12: Kevin Martin checks out a Babson Boulder with a ‘Keep Out of Debt’ carving on Dogtown Common in Gloucester, MA on March 12, 2018. The area in Gloucester and Rockport known as Dogtown is hard to pin down. It is part historical site, part recreation area, and part rambling woodland. It is a place where mountain bikers ride rugged trails and history buffs come to explore the remains of Colonial-era homes. No matter how you see Dogtown, the land is an important local resource that needs to be protected, said Mary Ellen Lepionka, co-chair of the Gloucester Historical Commission and one of the leaders of an effort to have Dogtown listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

I Know I know

The obsession continues but cannot help myself.  As I was leaving the gym on Monday evening this is what the sun set looked like.  You can tell the clouds were coming in for the little snow we had on Tuesday.
