Plum Island

This afternoon we drove to Plum Island with the dogs.
When we got to the ocean it was frigid.
Cold temperature and a fierce wind.

 Big Pine Cones

The beach on Plum Island





I took these while holding the little dog's leash
and he was running all around the beach :)

Snow Trek

I went trekking through the deep snow.

First had to climb over large snowbank.
Trail down towards the pond.
Following the trail to the eastern end.
Trail steeper as I near the eastern end.

Another Snowy Day

Another snowstorm passed through
although only four inches or so
of light, dry, fluffy snow.

It was nice to capture the snow
blowing off the trees through
the sunlight.
