This red-shouldered hawk frequents my neighborhood pond. Here he takes a breather from the half-dozen crows that were relentlessly harassing him. (Point and shoot through double paned glass).
This larger-than-life size statue of Massasoit stands on the hillside above the memorial that covers the Plymouth Rock in downtown Plymouth. Massasoit was a Native American leader at that time who helped the Pilgrims and largely prevented the starvation and failure of the Plymouth Colony in 1621.
It may still be winter-like but, a scoop of ice cream on a warmish sunny day (mid-50's F) at the downtown waterfront is still a winner for New Englanders.
No boats at the slips yet but, soon they will return - and this green park grass will welcome outdoor concerts again this summer when the Project Arts of Plymouth gets underway with free shows every Wednesday evening over the ten-week summer season. Whatever the season, it's good livin' here in "America's Hometown."
A few days later, the red-shouldered hawk had found a friend. I didn't see them making sparks but, 'tis the season.
