Rocky Mountain High For Pat and Jimmy

Posted on by Pat D

GMG Jim and I traveled to Colorado last week to celebrate a family wedding. We hadn’t taken a vacation this year so we (I) added a few days to the trip so we could explore a bit. We stayed in Fairplay which is not the least bit urban but the people were friendly and the vibe was relaxing. We explored the area (BEAUTIFUL) but saw almost no wildlife (BOO). It took me several days to adapt somewhat to the change in altitude. Let’s just say it wasn’t Jimmy’s good looks that left me breathless.

Then we traveled to Buena Vista for the wedding which has a totally different vibe than either Cape Ann or Fairplay. It’s lovely there as well as you can see in these photos but we are very glad to be safe back at sea level or below here in our beloved Gloucester. It’s good to get away now and again to remind you of the blessings you have at home.

Thanksgiving Animals — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Here’s a look at some of our neighbors during Thanksgiving season.

This fly has opted for indoors, and is fascinated watching me at my computer.
House Sparrows forever greet us at low altitude on our walks.
Red-tailed Hawk, before three boisterous crows dispatched him further down our path.
Hooded Mergansers have returned to Niles Pond and look thankfully relaxed.
A Double-crested Cormorant figures the pond is quieter than the ocean.
The seals are at Brace Cove for the winter. The one in the middle has a bloody red face.
Mabe it had an encounter with this one, a couple of rocks over (head at left).
This coyote’s misfortune was deadly. Seen here after several high tides.
A handsome white-tailed buck stared me down in our yard.
His doe was watching patiently from the bushes behind him.
Another day another doe. “How do I look in red?”
A welcome walk and a red sunset after our extended Thanksgiving lunch.

Rick and I went to my brother’s house for Thanksgiving with family.  My siter in law, Peggi, is very talented from her great food to crafts.  She had butter in the shape of a turkey and made me a terrific ceramic Christmas tree.  My fun brother Paul has a 3D printer and made us all ornaments.
