A Shutterbug explores the surrounding areas of Cape Ann MA each week with her camera and her assistant, most times. We do look for 'the magic' and sometimes it appears when we are seemingly not looking. What a gift! What treasures nature offers!

TUESDAY ~ Our World Tuesday ~

| Looking across the harbor only buoys in the water and cold blue water. Our world on Cape Ann MA has been a better Winter than last year but there is still February and March. Anything can come for weather ~ It has been known to snow in May. Good thing is it melts quicker the closer we get to Spring. But there is something pretty about snow too just makes it hard for people to get around. Sharing with Our World Tuesday link |

ReplyDeleteHi Carol
ReplyDeleteIt does not look like you have that much snow there this winter--big change from last year! We have been getting warmish days soon followed by cold and snowy days. The moisture from the snow is good, as we need it. Art Muse dog always makes me smile--such a cutie and very expressive. Have a wonderful week!
Lots of nice pictures! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch great pictures! I always expect that part of the country to have snow all through the winter. It's nice to see you get to enjoy some nice days too.
ReplyDeleteI love the view of the water and harbour. And of course Artmusedog is a scene stealer.
ReplyDeleteI do so love the photos of the barn!!! Should be mounted and framed!!! Very nice!! Have a grand day!
