Every now and then it’s good stop and look at the perspective of your surroundings…

“What we give to our children today, will echo in our lives forever. Today I remember that I am a teacher, I am a role model. I can make a difference in the life of a child, and one day that child will make a difference in another child’s life.” ~ Pamela J. Leavey

“I will be honest with myself and others. For when I deceive others, I am deceiving myself. I will be true to myself and others. For when I am true to myself, I am true to others. I will strive to be the gentle voice of truth and reason in all circumstances.” ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

In the past few months I have been traveling a different route to Newburyport, from my home in Amesbury. I really miss the Hines & Chain bridges that cross the Merrimack River and connect Amesbury to Newburyport. The Hines bridge has been closed since November and the project to build the new bridge will take 18 months to complete. The project appears to be coming along…
Sometimes it’s good to travel a different route… New sights… Different vistas… A change of scenery can be good. Still I will be glad when the bridge is open again.
Coyotes on Plum Island
March 27, 2011
I was driving down to Plum Island this afternoon and had just made the corner at the airport when I spotted an animal walking out past the runway. Having lived in Los Angeles for 19 years, I recognized that it was a coyote. Although I have heard that there are coyote in this area, I had not seen one before this. Coyotes tend to be nocturnal creatures, so I was surprised to see one in the middle of the afternoon, slinking along the salt marsh heading for Plum Island.
I has however heard just yesterday that there was an article in the Newburyport Daily News about a cat missing on Plum Island and the suspicion that it had been caught by a coyote.
Well they are definitely out there on Plum Island.
A commentor on the Newburyport Daily News shared an awesome closeup photo and sighting here.
UPDATE (3/29/11): There was a good follow up piece in the Newburyport Daily News… Life With Suburban Coyotes.
