Settling into Winter — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Falling temperatures are ushering us into the winter holiday season.

An unusual scene in a neighbor’s driveway.
They earned an ‘Honorable Mention’ in the Christmas tree lighting parade.
On our walks we can tell when another neighbor is out, but didn’t take Oscar.
Common Eiders enjoy riding the waves like a roller coaster.
Up and over the crest, and down the other side in their amusement park.
Last bird standing, before disappearing.
Plenty of winter shore birds at Niles Pond. Buffleheads just getting airborne.
The water lillies are a graveyard.
A few short months ago they were an impediment to navigation.
First ice on the pond has the ducks and gulls congregating around openings.
Morning forecast: “There are snow flurries on the Cape.” That’s the one named after a fish.
We’re doing just fine on our Cape, thank you.
