Santa Over Cape Ann!

 I got lucky again, clear skies for Santa's arrival and was able to capture him and his team of reindeer. And Rudolph's nose is as bright as ever!

North Cape Ann!

 I hadn't taken one shot the entire week so mid Sunday morning I decided to take a ride around Cape Ann and stop in Rockport, Lanesville and Annisquam, with a few Gloucester shots thrown in.

First Snow of the Season!

 It had to happen sooner or later, this year some could say a little late but now that I think of it I may be to blame! With the Patriots off on Sunday playing Monday night I figured it's a good time to put the tire chains on my tractor. About 3 hours later the snow began to fall!
