Here, we see the tide hurtling out of Salt Pond at Blue Hill Falls, as the fringes of this week’s arctic storm arrived on Monday (February 15). Common Eiders patrolled the edges of the whitewater while Herring Gulls sallied above.
Below, we see today’s bright sun beaming down on our North Field, Great Cove, and Eggemoggin Reach:
When this image was taken (about 9:45 a.m.), the temperature was 20 degrees (F) with a wind chill of 6; the wind was 15 miles per hour, with gusts of 27 kicking up the Cove. Most of the snow had turned to ice that was hard enough for a man with a camera and a cane to walk on. (Blue Hill and Brooklin, Maine)
