  1. All so lovely as always Carol. The pink sky after the storm is lovely. So colorful and hopeful for bright days ahead ... Eventually. The town square is great ... Beautifully decorated ....perfectly elegant rather than garish. Just the way it should be this time of year.

  4. Very beautiful coloring on those two sky pictures and of course the little dog is always so cute.
    Thanks for commenting on my blog. I use a Pentax K5 and a Sigma 70-300 lens - those birds were just so tame they were close! I do have a longer lens - up to 500 - but I can no longer hand hold it and get frustrated with having to use a tripod or monopod!

  27. We will be in Manchester by the Sea on Christmas Eve as that is where my boyfriend's aunt lives. One of my favorite life quotes by Richard Bach is "rarely do member's of one's family grow up under the same roof."

  32. Nice going, Carol. I like the light snow in your 'Early Evening on Cape Ann MA' picture that Art took. We haven't had any snow yet but it's been spitting rain. 60 and 70 degrees is too warm for snow.
