Fail whale.

Whale garden, Rockport, Maine, spring.

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.

Winter window dressing.

Snow flakes or crystals?

Amazing what winter weather can do.

Feathery shapes on winter windows.

Magic seems to increase when the temps drop.

Frosty winter windows.

The views from our windows are pretty enough.

Snowy winter window.

But Jack Frost can’t seem to resist adding his own decorations.

Thanks Jack!

Winter crazies.

We’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.

Snow ghosts.

Snowman in Rockport.

After the last snow storm, Rockport gained some charming, but recognizable additions to it’s population.

Snowcouple in Rockport.

But these, at first glance, looked like unformed blobs, not quite finished. But on second glance these blobs took on a vague 17th or 18th century look. A man and woman emerge, but am not sure what the smaller one is.

Snow silhouette.

Can you see an appealing female silhouette? Am not sure if this was intended by the sculptor, but there it is.

Are they ghosts frozen in snow?

Winter windows.

Snowflakes on window, blue sky, winter in Maine.

After a winter storm in Maine the sky is usually bright blue.

Ice on window, blue sky, after storm in Maine.

Which makes our windows so pretty.
