September Eve

 
The moon rose around 6 pm., very pale in the sky
but very beautiful.
Easy to miss, so look closely.
 


Watching sea birds fly to their island as the sunsets.

A lovely September evening.

Ten Ten


October 10th is a special day
and here we are on the Marginal Way!
 
 

 
 A rare sea bird in our area caught our eye...
a gannet!
 
 


Cormorants were gathered on a rock....

a beautiful day for an anniversary and a first birthday
for a niece!

Hazy Foggy Evenings and the Moon





For several evenings the clouds and fog prevented
us from seeing the full moon but last night
we were lucky.
Though it was a hazy evening with some fog
the moon made an appearance.
Serenity and peacefulness...

Sunset and Cormorants

To my surprise, last night's walk provided a
beautiful sunset as the cormorants flew against
the strong winds to the safety of Bumpkin Island
for the night as waves
crashed upon the rocks.

Ten Ten

October 10th is a special day for us...

and the weather was perfect...mid 70's

in the morning at 10:10
the ocean was calm as butterflies
sailed by...


it's our anniversary...


over at Great Hill the cormorants were sunning themselves
as the ocean sparkled...


the amaranth looked so fancy!



Late afternoon, the light was so beautiful...
bittersweet led the way to the path to
Goose Rocks beach...



As we were waiting for the moon to rise,
a chevron of Canada geese flew by in the distance.






down by the water's edge sandpipers and
a gull were in close proximity...



a cormorant flew out to sea...



the light was soft and beautiful...
very calm.



someone had left a giant message in the sand
written with seaweed that said:
"here comes the sun"




a gull flew past the moon...




the color faded from the ocean and the moon
rose higher in the sky and softly ushered in
the night.
