At Magnolia Harbor the moorings are being put it.  Also a good sign that the pier should be completed by summer.

The obsession continues but cannot help myself.  As I was leaving the gym on Monday evening this is what the sun set looked like.  You can tell the clouds were coming in for the little snow we had on Tuesday.

On Wednesday the weather was typical New England, started off sunny, then rain and it cleared up for an amazing sunset. Oh also it turned really cold, but love it anyway.

When the sun starts to go down the sky turns such a beautiful color.  Love going to Magnolia Landing to take some photos.  The photo below took from Shore Road.

On Saturday it rained most of the day but when the sun broke through it made for a beautiful dusk.

As I was emptying the butt butlers in Magnolia the harbor looked so pretty.  Also thank you all for using the butt butlers instead of throwing them on the ground.
