Harold Parker State Forest beckoned yesterday afternoon. The sky was amazing, bright blue decorated with building clouds.
Shortly after I took this photo the sky turned gray. Not too long after that hail started falling. It was followed by a quickly moving rainstorm and a drop in temperature.
The clouds formed patterns above the ocean. A line of clear blue sky showed between clouds and water.
My walk at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge today started about 2 hours after high tide. The beach close to the water's edge was slanted but walkable.
There's a walk in Topsfield that a friend and I have been referring to as "the critter walk" because it passes fields that are often filled with animals. Our favorites are the rescue animals, including donkeys, alpacas, and sheep. This afternoon felt like a good time to visit.
While this donkey didn't risk coming close to us - I suppose he thought we were 2-legged animals on the other side of the fence - he did agree to stand still long enough for a photo.

I would guess the occupants can give directions to their home without supplying a house number.
Sea gulls sit on a pier overlooking the Merrimack River in Newburyport.
All of the birds were facing the same direction. I wonder how they communicate their intention.
This beautiful lady is looking up from the side of a building along a narrow alley in Salem.
She was a challenge to photograph. I stood against the facing wall looking to the sky, hoping to capture a reasonable picture of the mural. Sometimes I wish I could fly!
Kaupoku, by HulaIt was a good afternoon for a walk in Boston, including a stroll under the Zakim Bridge.
