Spring Comes to Washington Street

Last week, I shared images taken at Harris Street cemetery and remarked that those three trees might have taken the title from my previous ‘favorite tree’ in town.   Three days after taking those images and, appropriately enough, on a Wednesday, I drove up Washington Street and saw ‘my’ tree in full bloom.

I pulled over and marveled at the tree in its setting with incredible light coming down in the late afternoon.  The only problem was the very large truck blocking half of the view.  I realized that the house was undergoing some renovations and knocked on the door […]

Old Town House After the Blizzard

Though snow was due to fall in Marblehead this weekend, I was away at a conference and thus could not photography the aftermath (or help shovel out our driveway).  Instead, I decided to post this image from the Blizzard of 2013 in advance hoping that the weekend storm would pale in comparison.  As I mentioned before, I couldn’t wait until the driving ban was lifted after the snow finished falling and set out for Old Town when the clock struck 4pm.  This was one of my first stops.  The roads were mostly cleared and I looked for ways to […]

Old Town House Blanketed in Snow

snow on old town house

It seems like forever since we had just the right amount and type of snow (not to mention the timing of the fall).  This image from the morning of December 30th followed such a perfect snow storm.  The snow proved just wet enough to stick to trees and the wind died down to keep it there.  The snowfall amount wasn’t excessive so that large piles didn’t push onto the sidewalks and the salt was kept to a minimum.  It was in such perfect conditions that I […]
