For the past several weeks I have been filming at day break at fields with autumn’s beautifully expiring wildflowers and grasses. I didn’t have time this morning for trekking around and all that, and as I lay in bed looking out at the overcast sky, I wondered, should I just loll around for a few extra minutes or go and see sunrise on the Back Shore? It was a beauty this morning and am so glad I did 🙂
Today’s gorgeous GHB sunrise –
People and wildlife waiting for sunrise
From what I could see and for the most part, people were social distancing while enjoying a gorgeous day in the sunshine.
Sunrise between Twin Lights, Thacher Island
These photos were taken several days ago. I haven’t had time to sort through photos from today, but I think this morning’s sunrise was even more beautiful 🙂
Good Harbor Beach glorious sunrise
Posting throughout the day – the good, the terrible, the beautiful, and the ugly-
Emma, Mia, and Casey pitch perfect physical distancing while watching sunrise from the Back Shore – Earth Day 2020
Glorious Salt Island and Thacher Island sunrise
Spectacular wildy waves after the March 6th storm. And stunning sunrise this am. Photos from around the back shore of Cape Ann, from Gloucester to Rockport, taken Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Although frigid, the well-insulated Harbor Seals were lolling on the rocks well before the sun rose.
Several days ago at daybreak after photographing the setting Moon, I popped over to Brace Cove. The temperature was 19, the wind was biting. and my hands were already frozen stiff from photographing the Moon. I only stayed for a moment but as you can see, the seas smoke was rising in the distance. Happy for the return of warmer temperatures, albeit however brief!
Sunday’s sunrise
Beautiful August Twin Lights sunrise
Good morning, brought to you by today’s Good Harbor Beach magical rosey gold sunrise.
Good Harbor Beach golden July sunrise

Evocative light and beautiful pink striations in the foggy sunrise this morning.
Here’s my Superb Owl Sunday photo, which I forgot to post on Sunday. Since the photo was actually taken on Super Bowl Sunday, I thought better late than never.
Ten Pound Island and Lighthouse
The last morning of 2018 began with a gorgeously hued sunrise, and then, as so often happens on the wild and wonderful shores of Cape Ann, there were several chance and up close encounters with our local creatures. Nearly everyday I am reminded of the astonishing beauty that surrounds, from my East Gloucester neighborhood, to the natural habitats all around Cape Ann and Massachusetts. What a magnificent Planet we share!
Buffy gold juvenile Harbor Seal in the golden light of sunrise -an amazingly nonchalant, young Harbor Seal was close to shore this morning, sleeping, stretching, yawning, and scratching. More photos tomorrow when I have time to sort through all.
And a duo of American Wigeons (both male) were foraging on the sea lettuce floating around the rocky coast. More about them, too. 🙂 Notice their electric green eye patches and baby blue bills.
Testing my new Fuji 16-55mm lens–love that it is able to capture the soft hues of predawn.
Glorious light and colors at Good Harbor Beach Monday morning.
