Last week my blogmates posted gorgeous photographs of their winter worlds. I tried to add a few of my own, but thanks to the vagaries of WordPress (a blog post all its own) they disappeared into the ether.
I was disappointed, because I had a bunch of good ones to share. Then I realized today’s post was coming right up. Better late than never, as my Mom used to say. (She was prone to tardiness, and always said that in a self-forgiving tone, also a whole ‘nother blog post.)
If you follow this blog on a regular basis you know that Diane and I are inveterate beach walkers, and it will be no surprise that the images that follow are from Maine beaches, most taken this year, but a few from past years. Enjoy!
A few of the hundreds (thousands?) of quahogs that washed up on Pine Point Beach after a storm in early December.
Lost glove.
You have Popham Beach pretty much to yourself in the winter.

Stove-up traps, waiting for their owner to come fetch them off Scarborough Beach
The winter marsh holds its mysteries close.
Sea and sky shimmer late on a December afternoon.

Me, in my happy place, wishing you a wonderful 2021.
Happy New Year to my blogmates, and to all readers and friends of the blog!

Lovely pics, Brenda, deserving of a post of their own. Happy New Year to you and Diane.
Thanks, Kathy, and to you and Sandy, too!
Beautiful way to wake up! Thank you!
Thank you, Maggie!
These are beautiful, Brenda. Definitely better late than never. Thanks.
Thank you, Susan! The photos you posted of the playful foxes was terrific!
Thanks, Brenda, for brightening these dark days.
And, despite the challenges remaining, dare I sing, “Happy Days are Here Again”, FDR’s campaign song? . .

We all must do whatever we can to bring the light back. Now you’ve got me humming Happy Days, which is not at all a bad thing . . . Happy New Year to you and Mary!
Photos like these remind us of why we live in Maine year ’round! Thanks for sharing.
You are so right, Charlene. Winter is full of beauty.
So beautiful. Especially loved the sunset pic.
I can never get enough sunset photos, Vicki. Happy New Year!
Great photos. I’m staying inside, however.
I’m sure it is lovely to stay inside and watch the birds flocking around your feeders, nice cup of tea in hand and a good book, too.
