January slipped by with just three storms. It is early February and we are getting even more rain. We have been seeing lots of turkeys and deer. We have even seen the turkeys and deer at the same time. Their interaction was interesting to say the least. The deer are hungry and have even been […]

The third winter storm doesn’t seem like much on the face of it. We got four or five inches of snow over night followed by a dusting to three inches the next night. But the real thrust of the storm is the polar vortex and the extreme cold. Our cold is moderated a little by

We had a couple days to enjoy our snow cover before the second January storm arrived. The second storm was in the form of two inches of rain.  The snow mostly disappeared. You can tell all is quiet in NewMahket as I am taking a few bird pictures. One of the things I like about

We went to lectures by the naturalist and marine biologist prior to arrival on the island. Afterward the group would gather and share their photographs and

We are settling into the house and chaos reigns supreme. The work on the addition is slowly wrapping up. Hardly a day goes by without some minor crisis. An example was that the remnant we choose for the bathroom sink was too small and a substitute had to found asap. The weather has also been

The construction project is nearly finished. The final Walk through is scheduled for November 19, 2018. So we need to get the house put back together. Right now the house is all torn up. We need to organize things to get back to normal. The garage is a 20 foot by 30 foot space. We

I got a chance to play with my new camera, a Nikon P1000. I spent time reading the reviews and reading the manuals. It will take awhile to learn to use it properly. The reviews were not necessarily kind to the camera. It is big and heavy and therefore hard to hold steady. Because its
