Yesterday I posted a photo of the Merrimack River taken from Lowell’s Boat Shop on Point Shore in Amesbury, MA. There was a small boat in the foreground of the photo. Here’s a closeup of the boat…
The light from the late afternoon sun created an almost black and white effect reflecting off the river and the first boat in the water at Lowell’s.
Everyday here on the river is a gift… I can’t help but want to share the view!

I love living on the Merrimack River. As a small child I grew up in West Newbury on Way To The River Rd. The river was a short walk through the woods, down the dirt road that started at our driveway. At age 11, we moved to Moseley Ave in Newburyport, again a short walk from the river. The Merrimack River is in my blood, as is this whole area.
Everyday I look out from my desk and see the river. A short walk down the street and the view, more spectacular…
I love living on the river…

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.
