Looking for the Full Moon

So very cold and windy tonight…

we ventured out in search of the full moon rising.

It was getting  dark and there was a layer of 

clouds on the horizon.

As it got darker, I saw a pinkish orange glow...

and then it appeared through clouds…

mysterious….

The Last Few Days of August

August was fleeting and had a feeling of autumn

in the air.

 

 

The marsh has signs of autumn.

The last day of August actually felt more like summer,

 humid but a nice breeze

near the ocean.

What better thing to do than have french fries

while sitting on a bench as gulls fly by 

with the lighthouse in the

distance.

Surprise Moon and Lights

The moon surprised us tonight...

and Cape Porpoise looked magical!

A Beautiful Cold Full Moon Eve

As the sun set on Goat Island Lighthouse

and the sky and ocean took on pale shades of
lavender, pink and gold

just to the north the moon was rising...

a magical sight...



as the sky darkened the lighthouse glowed
with many colored lights...

the moon followed us...

and hovered over the Clam Shack who
had a special visitor inside.

Lights at Night

We followed the moon as it rose with a bright rosy orange
glow tonight...
it led us to Cape Porpoise.



Out of the darkness with a sense of mystery in the air
could be seen the lights
at Goat Island Lighthouse,

a beautiful sight on this chilly evening.

Moments on the Maine Coast

Friday turned out to be a beautiful day with
magical moments!

Sundog, Ducks and Cape Porpoise With Panorama

Have you ever seen a sundog?
Here's one we saw this afternoon.
(looks like a rainbow near the sun)

Was crystal clear and cold today...the ducks were
plentiful in Cape Porpoise harbor...
for a better look at one of them just click here...


That's D all bundled up and taking a panorama
photo of Goat Island Lighthouse...

ps.
here's the panorama that D took...
just click on the photo to see it larger...

After the Ice Storm

Though the storm ended on Friday, the icy
effects continued.

Having the power restored on Saturday afternoon,
December 13th, I discovered the moon was going
to rise around 5 pm. Bundled up, we drove over to
the ocean just in time to see it rise, so brilliant!

Sunday morning, bright and early,
we rushed over to the Nonantum Hotel,
to set up a display for the "Breakfast with
an Artist". Santa and Mrs. Claus were
there to warmly greet all of the children
who stopped by to see them. Some of
the folks there still had not had their
power returned...some were from Kennebunk
Beach, Old Orchard Beach and Saco and it
was nice for all of us to be in a warm hotel.

After leaving the Nonantum, we paused
where the river meets the sea, as a gull found
a perch. Saw loons in the river.

Cape Porpoise was still without power on
Sunday, even Goat Island Lighthouse seemed
to be without light!
