Walking the beach on a beautiful November day

The clouds and sun made for a beautiful day to walk.  You can see from the photo there was a haze from the fires on the North Shore.

Walk on Shore Road

Walking on Shore Road is always beautiful.  On Tuesday, the clouds were telling stories.

 

Reason you never leave the beach

On Monday it started to thunder and lightning late in the afternoon.  Of course, I went and sat in my truck for 5 minutes and the sun came back out.

Rafe’s Chasm

On Saturday, there was rain, sun, snow and wind.  Walking out to Rafe’s all weather happened.  Beautiful

Interesting clouds on Sunday

On Sunday the weather went through many different weather patterns.  We had rain, sun, clouds and sometimes it was raining and the sun out at the same time.  On Shore Road, Sunday afternoon there was a faint rainbow.  Love New England weather.

as if it were a daylight aurora in the bottom layers

AND THEN: HOLE PUNCH FINGER CLOUDS after!

Looks like a sun dog

Sundogs are colored spots of light that develop due to the refraction of light through ice crystals. They are located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals are present.

Sept. 14, 2023

When it’s time it’s time. The lifeguard chairs, most of the stairs, and the footbridge are removed every year, and for this season it was at sunrise Sept 14. Rockport DPW is also on top of the storm prep ahead of this weekend’s Tropical Storm warning forecast. They work fast to beat the tides.

september 1,2 / schooner festival

I saw this beach chair and thought perfect chair for Schooner Festival weekend. Imagine chairs on the boulevard printed with custom vessels (iconic racers and current ones). The smoke in the sky again from fires in Canada.

september 8- Black SEa and black clouds then blue Sky, no rain or rainbow

When the sea is black, the photo with the blue sky pockets and the clouds like waves–the last sequentially–was unexpected. Note the scale of the Long Beach cottages vs. clouds.

Incredible clouds on Friday afternoon

As I was sitting on the beach around 3:00 on Friday the clouds came directly over and around us.  Very cool.
