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!
