Love that Sumac! ~ Winter on Cape Ann MA ~ for Orange You Glad Its Friday


Welcome to Cape Ann MA ~ the 'other' Cape. We are north of Boston and technically an island connected by two bridges. It is beautiful and the ocean is central to our lives. I was  born and reared here then moved away only to come back after twenty odd years. Had to leave to really appreciate the beauty that is right here in my 'own back yard'.  Tis true with creativity also, look within and around you ~ beauty is right there.

    We have something in common as I recently moved back to the place I grew up after a 28 year absence. I thought I was moving up and out for a better life in the big city, but that was not the case. It's good to be back. :)
