As this post goes live, we should be seeing the first flakes of an expected 10-12″ snowfall on this early February day.  I couldn’t make up my mind about whether to share an image of snow or sun this morning and turned to my Facebook page for advice.  The response surprised me with a nearly even split.  In the end, the thought of being transported (if only for a moment) to a warmer day won out and I decided to share this image taken on June 3, 2013 at 7:18pm.

So almost exactly 4 months from now, it’s a warm early Summer evening.  The sun is getting lower in the sky but still producing great warm light reflected off the big cumulus clouds above.  There are boats in the harbor, a full canopy of leaves on the trees and it is still light at 7:18pm!

I don’t know about you but I’ll take this perfect moment looking out at Marblehead Harbor over the white flakes falling out my window just about any day…
