Overnight, a light snow fell over Marblehead and so, this morning, I headed down to Washington Street hoping to find a new composition to share in this new year. I drove by Abbot Hall and then turned to find the tree in front of Old Town House to be perfectly covered in white. I kept driving and parked in front of Haley’s as soon as I spotted this view of Mud Puddle Toys, Arnould Gallery and Old Town House.

I quickly crossed the street and lined up the colorful storefronts with the bright yellow backdrop of Old Town House. A brief wait for the wind to shift and Old Glory to present and I came away with this new composition to share.
