Scituate Harbor After the Blizzard

The morning after the Blizzard of ’26, I headed to Scituate Harbor for sunrise and high tide. I had a simple goal: catch what remained of the storm’s energy and put my new Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S a proper field test. On the way to Scituate Town Pier, I paused at a familiar…
Along the Way – February 5, 2026

Even with the landscape still buried in snow, we’ve been fortunate to have nearly daily sunshine since the storm. This afternoon, I took the chance to enjoy some of it on a walk through Ames Nowell State Park in Abington.

The snow hasn’t loosened its grip yet, and the South Shore remains frozen. With hiking off the table, I kept it simple and took a slow drive along the coast. Taken on an afternoon drive through Cohasset and Scituate.

With another snowstorm expected tomorrow, these moments from the January 19th storm came to mind. Snow blanketed the South Shore, transforming familiar landscapes into quiet, frozen scenes.

Frosted Links at Sunset

The frosted practice grounds glow during sunset at Granite Links in Quincy, Massachusetts, just after a recent snowstorm. I happened to be in the area and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to catch the last light on the snow-covered course. The South Shore has some beautiful vistas, but the elevation at Granite Links makes it arguably…
Along the Way — December 24, 2025

Before the Christmas Eve gatherings began, I slipped out for a quick trip to the coast during a round of passing snow on the South Shore. Strong winds were pushing in big swells, and the snow drifting through the air added a muted, wintry feel to the scene.
Frost and Tide

As the late afternoon sun struck a small island during a drone flight over Hingham Harbor, dramatic colors and contrasts burst onto the scene. The intersection of frost and receding tide etched striking patterns across the ice and water, highlighting a stunning contrast of texture.
New England Red

With all the recent snow we’ve been having in the South Shore, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit some familiar places, such as Weir River Farm in Hingham. The classic red barn, standing out against the snowy landscape, drew me in. The bold contrast with the white-covered fields and the muted…
Winter Blues

An endless blue sky stretches over a winter landscape at a farm in Rockland, Massachusetts.
Winter Sentinel

The fresh snow after a recent snowstorm in Duxburry clung to everything, turning the scene into a postcard. Yet the tree near the center stole the show—I was immediately drawn to its bare branches and gumdrop-like shape.
Winter Path

A winter path at John Little Conservation Area at sunset. The recent snow created a beautiful winter wonderland-like scene.
