I consider myself very fortunate to live in the best of both worlds.
The beach is 5 minutes from my house.
All the necessities of fine living (shopping, bank, market, fine restaurants) are within a couple miles of my house.
Boston is less than an hour away.
However, once you venture down my driveway...it's like you have left the world behind.
I live on four acres, mostly protected wetlands, nestled in the woods.
The convenience of city life nearby, and the solitude of country life outside my door!
In our woodland paradise we enjoy the company of many of God's little creatures. Here are some of my favorite photos of our little friends.
Butterfly and spider web
This birdbath full of food was too hard to resist! Morris, yes we named him, loves tomato.
Barn Owl checking out the area. No idea, anyone know what this is?

Look closely at this one...
This greedy squirrel
wanted all the birdseed for
himself...he got right
inside the feeder!
No, we did not have him for Thanksgiving! Winter bird
Winter or Summer, the squirrels are always looking for food!






we need a bucket on a maple tree.
Jay I'm sorry, I need an explanation...I have no idea what the bucket is for?
Sharon , the unknown reptile I believe is a leopard salamander, and the bucket is surly a reference to maple sugaring in the North East. Steve, (nice photos / thanks)
Steve Thanks for clearing all that up for me! I appreciate your input!
You're living in an animal paradise... my local faves are the roadrunners and quail that make the periodic visit.
Chuck Now a photo of a roadrunner...that would be great to see.
