Thursday (February 13), we had a light snow shower that didn’t amount to much more than a fling of pixie dust, but it did make the neighborhood look a little more magical and set the scene for yesterday’s beautiful gleaming landscape. It also inspired us to take a few more images than usual.
We begin with what was happening while the snow was falling. The roads to the center of Town didn’t really need plowing, but got cleared anyway, of course:
The General Store, Library , and Town Offices went about business as usual, as did the Brooklin Cemetery in its own hallowed way:
Naskeag Harbor was quiet and, judging from the tire marks, a place to check things out during the snow shower:
The dusted trees were especially proud looking, including Spruce, River and White Birch, and Weeping Beach:
We have many classic structures that calmly sat this brief interruption out.
And, then came yesterday — calm, clear, cold. — and very bright.
Snow-dusted Mount Cadillac, across Blue Hill Bay in Acadia National Park, looked like Moby Dick broaching.
