Ornamental Pear Trees

Day 48/365

Sorry for my absence the past few days. Just been super busy and spending some quality time with family who have come in from out of state. Also. I shot a wonderful wedding down the Cape this past weekend and I am just beginning to go through and process the wedding images.

Here is a street in Hanover MA lined with ornamental pear trees. It is such a beautiful sight to behold this time of year. I only wish the beauty lasted more than a fleeting few days!!!!

Here is day 49/365

More time visiting the Abington Swans!

More catching up will come tomorrow......

Happy Mother's Day

Day 47/365

A bittersweet day for me today. Can you believe it was one year ago today that I broke my arm? Yup, May 10!! It was a Friday last year, and two days after  that was Mother's Day......my first Mother's Day without my Mom. It is all a blur to me........

This year I am blessed to be at my Mother In Laws bedside to celebrate Mother's Day. She is actually having a pretty darn good day today......and we are truly blessed and thankful for that!!!!!!

I know I'm 2 days behind on my blog posts......been super busy but will make up for it when I can!

Happy Mother's Day !

Cat O Nine Tails

Days 46 and 47/365

Think I'm a day behind, so posting two pictures here to catch up.

I went to the Estuary in Weymouth the other evening and had better luck shooting people than I did with the wildlife. But I am pretty happy with these so want to share them on the blog.

Really like this moment that I caught of my friends Patti and Phil.

Island Grove Abington MA

Day 45/365

Visited the nesting swans today. Mama was on the nest and I caught her standing up tending to the eggs!

Dad was out for a swim. The pond was still and there were some beautiful reflections in the water. I waited hoping he would swim out towards the bridge and my waiting paid off. With photography we can visualize what we want the shot to look like. Sometimes if we wait it out, we can get what we visualize and it's an awesome feeling.

Summer day?

Days 43 and 44/365

Two days in one post again. Sorry for not posting yesterday!
So Summer temperatures have arrived here in Southern New England today. What a beautiful day!!!!

And here is yesterday's photo. A beautiful Mourning Dove on my back deck.

Really like the forsythia backdrop on this one.

Herring Run Weymouth MA

Day 42/365

This weekend will be perfect for viewing the thousands of Herring as they make their final leg from the Carolina Coastline up to Whiman's Pond in Weymouth MA. The temperature has warmed up enough that these fish will be very happy to make the final trek. I spoke with the Game Warden last week and he told me they were holding off because the temperature was not warm enough.

Waiting For The Herring

Day 41/365

Went for another visit to The Herring Run in Weymouth. The birds are still patiently waiting for the Herring to arrive at the final leg of the run. Here;s a Black Crowned Night Heron relaxing in a tree.
