Sandspit rainbow

This is not a perfect rendition (only God can make a perfect rainbow!)  because I couldn't capture the whole thing in one shot.  But at least, pieced together, it will serve to remind us of a beautiful moment.  Thanks to Colleen Meacham, who called and told me to look outside!

Irresistible...

I'm sorry -- I just couldn't resist posting this one.  It was sent to me by Mary Jacobson, who got it from Sharon Ostenson; that's her dog, Sheila, on the bow of the kayak -- and of course that's our house in the distance.  (Note: Nemo is a BIG fan of Sheila's; they both adore tennis balls...)

If it had been a bigger photo I would DEFINITELY have put it in this year's calendar, but apparently she shot it with her cellphone, so it's too small to print.

Sigh.  What a terrific shot!  Thanks, Sharon, for letting me put it on the blog.

Gorgeous sunset Sunday evening

Wow!  Spectacular sky on Sunday -- hopefully a harbinger of warmer weather and longer days to come.  I hope that we at the North End looked as good to you as you looked to us!

Merry Christmas!

Click to fix the pothole

Wasn't the moon gorgeous this morning?  I thought you might enjoy this shot -- and I wanted to remind you that if you'd like to complain about that glaring pothole down by 15645, you can do so by clicking on the COBI map and voting -- here's the link:

Just so you know -- this is the cover for this year's calendar.  Get 'em while they're hot!

$15, paid to either me or the Thatchers, will give you 13 wonderful images to treasure forever...

Baiting for rats

Nope -- we didn't get a new dog; this is a shot I took of a friend's new puppy.  But I'm putting it here to let you know that there was an exterminator on the spit this weekend, who was here baiting for rats.  So we should all be careful not to let our dogs out loose for a while; trust me, that stuff is dangerous (and so are the rats, even dead ones, of course). 

So protect those pups of yours, and if you have any questions, Renee Sears has the details...

Have a good weekend!
