February 15, 2022 Looking for Hibbard

Thinking about all the colors in snow with light and shadow, and artists impressions of white, prompted a brief mission to Cape Ann Museum followed by a Rockport confirmation pass. (I know the Motif has been rebuilt and situated, and the Hibbard hill is fancy. Still. The thrill of tracing is immediate here!)

Cape Ann and Monhegan Island Vistas, CAM temporary exhibition did not disappoint and marked a rare stop since pre-covid. In January 2021 I was masked and looking at another Hibbard on display at CAM.

A summer day at Good Harbor Beach

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Wednesday went over to Good Harbor Beach.  The temperature was almost 70 degrees.  Again New Englanders can adapt very quickly to weather changes.  Love the photo of people in the ocean and someone talking to them in a parka.

sugared dune grass and ice blasted following Friday’s winter storm #GloucesterMA

Feb. 5, 2022 Long Beach (Rockport and Gloucester, MA.) snapshots about 8am.

How much snow?

Stone and metal surfaces are ice blasted with a fresh snow dusting 1/2″ – 2″ between Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach. By daylight, the coastal rocky shoreline between the beaches would normally reveal a highway of wildlife tracks and drama. There were none today which means the rocks are thick slick coated. Instead it’s the natural surfaces- -grass, sand, brush– worn and riveted. When they’re not icy, wildlife favor those bare surfaces.

View out the windows- glazing is ice blasted

ice, ice railing | pics show metal, glass and stone vs. grass, sand, etc to give an idea of what’s out there

Want to identify local wildlife from winter tracks in the snow?

snow band 10 to 11 o’clock January 29 #Blizzard2022 #GloucesterMA Good Harbor Beach Brier Neck

Posted on by Catherine

Gloucester, MA 10-11am white out walk. snapshots and video clips: Naomi Drive. Rockport Road. Salt Island Road. Brier Neck. Good Harbor Beach Inn. Good Harbor Beach. Thacher Road.


White out walk. Strong winds on the coast are keeping the snow inches down, and everywhere swaths of bare ground alternate with drifts ankle high to mid thigh. Snow walls are building at intersections as the busy plows stay ahead of this heavy winter battering.

Guess where?
