Thursday is "This Old House" Day

Today's old house was built in 1910, and is located on Bellevue Road in the Squantum section of Quincy.  This Prairie-Bungalow style house may have been built to function as a summer house that was well situated to catch the cool breezes off Quincy Bay.

The sun is lighting up the Boston skyline beyond the tower in Squantum.  I like the layering and subtle coloring of clouds in this image.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

Last Minute Storm Chores

I'm sure the docks have been cleared & secured for today's storm.  I am lucky to be able to wait it out in the comfort of my house.  That is Boston's Hancock Tower in the distance.

Flood Tide

Happy Skywatch Friday!  Stormy skies prevailed for most of the week.  The storm surge and astronomical high tides turned this Squantum marsh into a bay area.  Along the horizon you can see Marina Bay and Boston's Prudential and Hancock towers.
