Sunset and the moon

magical moments....

The Moon Again

I can't believe nearly a month has gone

by since my last post and the moon

is nearly full again.

More soon.

Winter Moon

the winter moon....

Summer Solstice

Ring Around the Moon

Last Night

Special Day

Was magical to wake up on my birthday and
see a dusting of snow...the first snow of the year...
actually the first snow since the October snow storm!

We wandered down the coast...

and came upon a beautiful sky and sea birds...over here.

took a brisk walk along the Marginal Way in Ogunquit...

and window shopped at Harbor Candy Shop in Ogunquit...

Upon returning home, up in the night sky a beautiful
ring had formed around the moon.

It's the little things that make a day so special!

New Year's Day

New Year's Day started

with trees that shimmered
with the rising sun as ice crystals clung to the
delicate branches.

At 11 am. the brave lined up for the annual
Atlantic Plunge to raise money for charity.
Considering it is January 1st, the weather
wasn't too bad for such an event...
44 degrees and sunny
with no snow.

The count down began and

everyone participating ran screaming
into the ocean for a dip!

The sun set at 4:16 pm. and I love this time
for a walk along the ocean.

Best wishes for a year filled with happiness
and good health!

Looking At The Moon Tonight

So clear and mysterious,
looking at the moon tonight!

Reflection

Looking at the Moon

Last night as I walked along the ocean
I thought I caught a glimpse of the moon
through gossamer clouds.

I paused to look at the moon...

Evening

So clear tonight...the moon and the evening star...

Garden Vegetable and the Moon in December!

This is the first leek that D pulled out from
the nearly frozen ground in our garden...
It's fragrance filled the house!
Very exciting!

Meanwhile, the moon looked soft and lovely
tonight.

Another cold evening and happy to be inside
snuggled with our kitties!

Looking at the Moon

Hope you can feel the beauty and serenity...

The Moon and Sun

Last night the moon was so mysterious
and beautiful as it was peeked through
an opening in the clouds with a subtle ring
of colors.

This morning a muted sun was in it's place,
I think of this sun as a snow sun and actually
snow is in the forecast for this afternoon.

The Moon on the Eve of December 1st

Tonight as I stepped out of the house to
walk over to the studio, I again was surprised to see the mystical
ring around the moon as it peeked through the layers
of clouds....an hour later the clouds had vanished
leaving a clear night sky and a bright moon.

The Moon and Clouds

As I was walking over to my studio tonight, I looked
up at the sky and it took my breath away...
the moon was peeking through a most unusual fluffy
pattern of clouds in the night sky.

Chance of Frost

Tonight is clear and cold and
could perhaps be the first frost!
Oh no! Our vegetable garden is in danger.

Time for Reflection

The moon followed us home tonight...traveling
back to Maine...a time to reflect on the past week
with love and sadness...

Kita Cat

When I awoke this morning and
glanced out of the window the moon was still visible.

And then I saw her, Kita cat.
Kita lives through the woods behind the houses across the street in a
horse barn. We met her for the first time last fall when she
appeared in our yard and we thought she was homeless.
We were worried about her for the weather was getting cold and nasty.

She was the friendliest cat and would
sit on D's back while he was digging in the garden.
After calling everyone in the neighborhood we finally
discovered where she lived.
A year has gone by since we've seen her in our yard and when
I peered out of the window this morning, there she was!
Her fur patterns are the colors of autumn.




Ellie May watched with great concentration from the studio window.
