Found a ghost today - Day 226

This ghost is in my yard today!

Happy Halloween - Day 225

On my way back from Hanover I stopped at Susan's exhibit at the Hingham Library. It is a wonderful presentation of her work. Then decided that being in Hingham I should check out the Talbot's Outlet Store in Hingham Shipyard. On my way to Talbot's I had to stop at this yard.

New Tree Coming - Day 224

I have been thinking about getting a tree for my front lawn but didn't know what I wanted. While I was driving down Bridge Street I saw this unusual tree and had to get a closer look. Quincy Adams Nursery will be planting it for me next week. I hope it will look right in the yard. It's a Serpentine Cherry tree. I was thinking it may curve into a S for Santry wouldn't that be cool.

Webb Park - Day 223

George and I went over to Webb Park in Weymouth this afternoon. Another beautiful Autumn day in the 70's. Everyone we saw at the park was enjoying the warmth of the day.

Raining But It Brought Out the Color- Day 222

Another busy day. Brought a gift photo to the family I met photographing the Head of the Weir Race from their beach ( I can't tell you where it is, I like life to much). I took this photo from a new spot I found. There was a no trespassing sign but after my last spot I thought who would see me. Well a truck pulled up and I asked if I could take a photo. He did say sure but don't fall I don't have insurance. He watched me and didn't leave until I did. I feel like a true photographer now. Really proud of myself even trying to take a photo at a no trespassing area. Ha!

Autumn Day - Day 221

Such a beautiful day. After I went shopping at BJ's. Love this store. I brought the food home and drove over to Caddy Park. A beautiful spot with the marsh and autumn leaves today.

Mom's Home - Day 220

Mom made it home from her 10 day tour of Italy. She had a great time but never walked so much in her life. She also doesn't want another pasta dish for a while.

Great Place to Exercise - Day 219

What a great place to exercise on Nantasket Beach. Fresh air and sunshine.

Head of the Weir River Race - Day 218

Went to the Head of the Weir River race today. Another bright sunny day. But if you weren't in the sun one could have froze.

Circle of Ghosts - Day 217

It is another beautiful fall day. I drove down to Cohasset to see if the First Parish Church renovations have been completed. They have. Across from the church is a circle of ghosts that I have enjoyed every fall that the home owners have assembled on their front yard.

It's Raining - Day 216

It's not a good day to drive around town today, so I ran out and took a photo of my front door.

Autumn Color - Day 215

Went looking for some Autumn color today and found this pond in Norwell.

Gannets - Day 214

On my way to buy some groceries I thought I would go to Mounds Beach. What a surprise. It's a very nice beach on the Town River. While there I walked towards the Town River Yacht Club and found these Gannets. I thinks it's been thirty years since I have gone to this beach. I will go back sooner. Quincy is full of nice surprises.

My Business Card - Day 213

This photograph is on my business card. The large ship is the Pride of Baltimore II.

It was a very pretty day today, but the wind was very cold. Autumn is here.

Memorial - Day 204

Today George and I attended a 43rd Anniversary of the sinking of the SS Panoceanic Faith in Orleans, MA. Two of George's classmates were on that ship that dreadful day. Seven of the young men in the ship were graduates of Massachusetts Maritime Academy. It was a very moving ceremony.

This Morning - Day 203

Another busy morning. Delivered a sold photo, dropped off John's Hull Artists certificate for years of membership, visited Carousel store, meeting at Seabreeze and lunch with Mom at Jakes . Took some photos at Mom's also. I am in high hopes of getting bored some day soon.

Concourse Update - Day 202

They have made a lot of progress on the cross city connector roadway when I drove by today. The demolition crew had to stop taking the Quincy Movie Theater down when they found asbestos in the buildings. The asbestos is gone and looks like the road will be finished in a couple months. The cars in the middle right of this photo are on Hancock Street. This connector road has been planned for the city for over 20 years.

In the second photo the building in the middle by the Granite Trust Building (Bank America now) is coming down in a couple weeks. All part of the Quincy Revitalization Plan.

Rainy Day - Day 201

A rainy day. Cleo is very bored, she wants to go out and play. This is her view from her rocking chair in the screen room.

Maureen has some beautiful white Cosmos in her yard that run the length of my driveway. When I go to get in my car I enjoy the beauty of them. Thanks Maureen.

Down to Hull today to say hi to Mom and attend a meeting on giving art classes by members of the Hull Artists Studio Connection. Driving down the beach, I saw a wind surfer enjoying the wind and the rough ocean that I had to photograph.

Jerusalem Road - Day 198

Another very busy day. Trish invited me to go on the North River Art Assoc. Studio Tour which was wonderful. If I only had a barn to convert into a studio. Then went to Focus Gallery for a great presentation from photographer Michael Kahn. His work is inspirational. The light when I left the gallery called me to take some photographs so I took Jerusalem Road home from Cohasset.

Clear Day - Day 197

It was so clear at Nantasket Beach this morning one could see Minot Ledge Light from the beach.

Lobster Boil - Day 196

Thanks to FB and Jennifer I found out about a lobster boil being held in Houghs Neck at the Houghs Neck Congregational church. What a deal. A lobster dinner for $10.00. The door bell just rang, would you believe I won a door prize at the dinner. A bottle or wine and a scarf delivered by my neighbor Pat.
