First Snow 2017 and a Drive Up-island

A drive up-island with Becky yesterday afternoon yielded these gems (enhanced, of course, by the company of my dear friend as well as a spontaneous visit around the woodstove at Fran's house).


January woods


All that remains of the original Herring Creek Farm barn and out-buildings


Edgartown's Great Plains


Last year's sunflowers - tired and bent, but full of life; bearing seeds for next year's crop.


Menemsha shack, destined to be inherited by bittersweet vines


It's still Christmas until at least Epiphany, maybe longer in this outpost


Sunset reflection


Reds and blues stand out amidst the gray and white, with the red-white-and-blue flying nearby


Menemsha mermaid


Across the creek on Lobsterville's shore
