Love this time of the year

After working, my main concern is taking a swim and relaxing at the beach.  Magnolia Harbor with the pier makes such a pretty view.

A break in the clouds

Magnolia Pier is one of my favorite places to walk.  The flags are waving, and the weather was starting to break.

An end to a beautiful summer day

Tuesday was an amazing summer day.  Stopped at the Magnolia Pier to take the photo.  Happy summer.

View of beach from Magnolia Pier float

On Monday the skies were clear and blue.  Walking to Magnolia Pier and sitting on float was delightful.   The houses on the shore add to the view.

Another foggy and rainy Saturday

Crazy as it sounds, I like the fog.  The air is always briny, and the fog feels good on my skin. Magnolia Pier looks mysterious in the fog,

Spring and flowers

Walking Shore Road on Tuesday late afternoon was so nice.  The flowers are blooming, and sun did not go down until almost 8:00.

End of a beautiful April day

Shocking that I went to the beach on Monday.  Had to go and get out of the office.  The beach is not only my happy place, but also a healing place.

A rare sunny day in April

On Monday my daughter Ericka and her dogs came up to visit.  It was a glorious day, and the sun felt so good.  To walk to the Magnolia Pier was wonderful.  No hats, no gloves and not being cold.

 

Boston in the background

The other night of course, I went walking Shore Road.  Seeing Boston in the background, decided to check how many miles.  According to Google Maps, Magnolia Landing, Gloucester, MA to Boston is 29 miles.  It may not be totally accurate due to the fact, that Boston skyline from Magnolia, is the Prudential, John Hancock building and the financial district.   On clear evenings you can see the coastline of Quincy down to the South Shore.  So lucky to live here.

Patiently waiting for the float at the Magnolia Pier

With the warmer weather coming, walking has been easier to be outside.  On the Pier, Tuesday, noticed how the ramp wants the summer to get here.

Blue Bench

This blue bench matches the blue sky and blue Magnolia Harbor.  The bench is popular to sit and watch ducks, sunset and people watching.

 

A late sunset

On Friday, the sunset group walked Shore Road with lots of clouds.  Could not see the planets, but all of a sudden, the sun made a glorious appearance.

 

Not great sun sets this week.

Even when it is cloudy at sunset, the walk on Shore Road is always a must.  The sunset on Tuesday was silvery.
