Boardwalk at sunrise
A glorious midsummer’s weekend. While the days are still long, Jane and I drive up north to catch an early sunrise at Good Harbour Beach. We haven’t spent much time exploring Cape Ann’s varied coastline and charming seaside villages, so we make a lovely Saturday morning of it. After photographing a beautiful sunrise in Gloucester, we take a brief stroll in the Coolidge Reservation, photographing summer wildflowers beside Clark Pond and along the beach path to Magnolia Harbour. Our drive home takes us through Manchester-by-the Sea and Beverly Farms. After grabbing brunch at the Early Harvest Diner in Beverly, we return to Brookline in the late morning.
