In the spring, this happy sea creature caught a leafy wave.
And in the summer, it looks like it might be swallowed up by the garden.
Maybe it was.

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Ponds are all frozen over, even large ones, and now we’re seeing sea ice on the ocean.
Saltwater freezes below the freezing point of pure water, at about -1.8 °C (28.8 °F).
As sea water freezes, salt is excluded, because salt has a different crystalline structure: it forms cubic crystals (with four sides) whereas ice is hexagonal, or six-sided.
Snow can also accumulate on the water which makes a kind of fresh water slush that can turn into ice.
This is what might be called drift ice that floats on the surface and moves with the tides.
Beaches are frozen solid, just like our memories of summer.
Hard to believe that flip flops are in our future.
Winter window dressing.

Magic seems to increase when the temps drop.
The views from our windows are pretty enough.
But Jack Frost can’t seem to resist adding his own decorations.
Thanks Jack!
Winter crazies.
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011We’ve entered that silly part of the winter calendar when brain cells start vibrating in loopy patterns. Yep, the US National Toboggan Championships are coming our way.
Here’s the scoop. And here’s the proof.
(There’s a good reason nearby Mt. Battie is called Mt. Battie.)
Snow creatures in Rockport.

The last winter storm left snow so deep, this beautiful horse was frozen in the front yard of this Rockport home.
Is that the saddle waiting for a rider?
While nearby, a frozen, but fierce, folk art fish guards this garage.
And luxurious condos shelter real snow birds.
