Today I have a few Massachusetts photos that I took myself and a few that other people took. Most need no explanation, but please let me know if you have comments.
The abandoned boathouse is next to the Sudbury River, which you can see through the trees if you look closely. A shot taken nearby shows more of the river, including the farther shore and the ice forming along the edges.
About the traffic signs: Are drivers supposed to be hopeful about the availability of tickets?
My husband researched white squirrels after I pointed out our visitor. This squirrel could be either an albino gray squirrel or a mutation. I think I have the mutation. Very aggressive, by the way.
The new bird feeder has provided terrific entertainment ever since it went up December 16. The sharp-shinned hawk seen on the backyard bench agreed that the feeder was entertaining, although his enthusiasm was not as innocent as mine.
Kristina took the next two pictures: one of the gnome she made over Christmas, and the other of her bright and cheery plants.
My oldest grandson took the picture of his sister next to a big New Year’s ice sculpture in his town.
Finally, I hardly ever miss a chance to shoot a photo of nice shadows.

















Beautiful through a camera’s eye! Thank you… π
Thank you kindly, Sustain.
You are welcome!
Your photos always leave me a little sorry that I chose an urban existence. Lovely, and evocative. I love the city life, but… On the brighter side, we had hawks nest in our churchyard last year; hoping for a repeat.
That was exciting. I hope the hawks come back. This year’s photos may look more rural than usual because I am sticking to the parts of town with the fewest people. That’s the result of Covid anxiety. But we do have a lot of conservation land.
Nice batch of January pictures.
There’s always something worth taking a picture of, anytime of year.
Absolutely! Even in crummy old March. π
Lovely shots! Makes me think of spring.
I know what you mean. As wintry as it is, the light is changing, and water that is freezing could just as well be melting.
Itβs all about the light!
I was attracted on Twitter by the photo on the ice, but the ones that made me laugh are “Speeding Tickets … Available Ahead” π
I love thinking about how officialdom decides what to put on signs — and why some officials appear to get away with making a joke.
I enjoyed looking through the cameras eye… nature.. so beautiful,a little gnome ..so heartwarming… the little owl on the window sill.. charming… ππ
Thanks, Deb. I always enjoy your photos in a different part of the country where spring comes early. Today we expect a blizzard!
Oh wow… never have been in a blizzard
