Quiet and serene

Coolidge Reservation across from the Magnolia Landing is a Trustees Property.  You can take a great walk around Clark Pond, up to Ocean Lawn and also to Magnolia Beach.

An early morning at Appleton Farms

After the snow last week, went to Appleton Farms in Ipswich.  Was so pretty with the snow and sun.

The architecture of the Magnolia Pier

When the tide is low you can see the form of The Magnolia Pier especially with a dusting of snow.

A walk-through Rafe’s Chasm

On Tuesday afternoon took a quick walk through Rafe’s Chasm.  Definitely was a quick walk due to the 9 degrees.   Even though it was very cold, the fresh air feels good.

Coolidge Point

The snow dusting Coolidge Point on Tuesday was serene.  The sunset was hidden by the clouds, but still pretty.

Sunset after the snow

Even though it was cold on Monday night, the clouds, sun and snow were calling us the Magnolia Pier.

Light snow

The snow was so pretty over the weekend.  The Schooner Adventure was docked at Maritime Gloucester.

Weather on Saturday

On Saturday, the weather was cloudy, rainy, snow squalls and beautiful afternoon sunshine.   We cannot forget the sunset.

 

Magnolia Pier at sunset

Love walking the pier at sunset.  The designs from the sun are fun to see.

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.
