Goodbye March!

With this Coronavirus around things here have slowed down. I'm lucky enough to still be working but on the overnight shift makes me feel like the last man on earth. Warmer weather is ahead and so is better times. I look at it as an adventure with new rules and hopefully a better outcome. 102 years ago we faced the Spanish Flu, we will overcome this one!

Lonely Beach

Dawn and Dusk!

This Caronavirus kinda reminds me of the Blizzard of 1969 where Cape Ann was hammered with a 41" snowstorm and power was out for over two weeks. No school and supermarkets running out of everything, not because of hoarding but no deliveries could get in. If we can survive that we can survive this.

In the meantime I'll keep the shutter clicking. In this installment sunrises and sunsets and a "year ago" thrown in.

Rough Seas!

A few days of high winds turns the sea boiling. All these photos I took late afternoon on Saturday as the winds died down but the seas were still active. Keep in mind when photographing from the shoreline keep a safe distance. Too many get too close and even if your not swept away you can be hurt from flying rocks the sea kicks up! Many of these photos were taken with my 300mm zoom lens and all were taken from the road. Stay safe far away!

Boats soon to be in the water!
