What’s the hurry what’s the rush, speeding onwards past love’s beauty, always present while we fill our head with lists only to empty a few to fill again. What we see outside is a small reflection of who we are inside. It is the unlimited creativity of our minds that paint the sky with such wonder. Ramani Rangan

Hi Joey,
Walking in the woods this morning it felt like fall, or maybe spring…. It was beautiful, nonetheless.

Hi Joey,
Here is a shot of the half moon with a bit of a moonbow around it! The sky was particularly beautiful.

In The Battle For More Picturesque Photo Location Who You Got Between The Burnham House In Essex and Motif No 1 in Rockport and The Paint Factory in Gloucester.
At One Time I might have said the Paint Factory but it’s such a mess now you’d have to put it out of the running. The Burnham House In Essex has the Natural surroundings thing going for it. Rockport’s Motif No 1 is nice in it’s own right and probably has the most world wide cache.
Here’s a shot of Motif No 1 from Matthew Green-

Hi Joey,
Friday afternoon, once the storm ended, I decided to head north and check out Plum Island. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
A tractor that looks like it’ll be stuck for a while. A dog retrieving a ball in the snow covered dunes. The Plum Island Light. The surf was definitely still up. The houses and fields were covered with 2 feet of snow and ice. A snowy owl was perched on the roof of a deserted home. And in Rowley along the river, I encountered a very interesting midair snow drift that almost resembled a ghost floating along in front of me. The temperature was balmy 14, and it was gorgeous!

Hi Joey,
After being cooped up for the storm, I headed out to Cranes Beach check out the dunes and the surf.
The snow on the dunes was laced with a marbling of sand which made for some quite interesting patterns.
Even the day after the storm ended, there was still a bit of surf, but the seagulls seemed to take it all in stride.

What a difference a season makes! Note the GMG sticker on the door way in the summer photo.
Here’s a picture of Kiara age 6 playing in the snow by the docks!
The ice is back big time on my windows.
I think this photo sort of looks like an aquarium with ice crystal fish. –Len
What happens when two events ( A Wedding and Plunge 4 Pete) collide on Good Harbor Beach? Lots of peace, co-opertion and goodwill! It was an afternoon to simply smile.

Hi Joey,
Friday morning was lovely along the water. There was still a hint of snow on Good Harbor Beach and the
air was crisp but not too cold to chat with friends while capture the beauty of Gloucester.
I hope everyone in the GMG family has a wonderful New Year!
Mary Barker
Thought I’d share these photos with everyone. I don’t have a “fancy” camera and I’ve seen better photos on GMG, but she’s still a beautiful bird!
Heading out of town for a few days but want to wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hello Joey, I encountered this snowy owl while boating near Annisquam Light today. It was only a few minutes past the winter solstice. An account is on my blog: www.trashpaddler.com. Regards, Al Peirce
Hi Joey,
All the best of the season to you, yours and your many blog viewers!
See you in the spring.

Great Holiday Photo taken by my co-worker, Gail Estes. Just made a bunch of thank you cards out of it. Incase you’re looking for a blog photo 🙂
Hi Joey,
Here are 2 shots from my travels around Cape Ann on Friday. I was coming down Rte 128 to Grant Circle and the late afternoon light captured my eye, so I snapped this as I was stopped waiting to enter the rotary.
The second one is a tree behind Woodman’s in Essex. I just thought it was lovely sitting by itself along the Essex River.

Going passed the Manchester Historical Society, if you are very lucky, you can see the Nutcrackers standing guard… They appear only to those who can see beyond the streets and houses…
