December 18, 2022 – Lynn Shore Drive and Red Rock Park – Massachusetts

Today Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Lynn Shore Drive and Red Rock Park in Lynn, Massachusetts. Lynn Shore Drive starts at King’s Beach in Swampscott and ends at Nahant Beach which begins the causeway to Nahant. The pathway is paved and borders the ocean, passing beaches including Lynn Beach. It has benches along the way and provides views of Egg Rock, Nahant Bay, and distant views of the Boston Skyline.

We had a refreshing Adventure to this coastal pathway. I have had my eyes on it since we visited Nahant Reservation and was eager to check it out. We parked street side at King’s Beach and off we went. The morning sun added a lovely addition to the beautiful shore. We spent a little time on the beach where Gus enjoyed some digging and Wilma attempted some playing. However we mostly trotted down the paved trail. The dogs were overly intrigued by the smells but Wilma did enjoy a roll or two along the route. She was also obsessed with walking above the trail and when doing so walker at a speedy pace. I found this quite entertaining! You might not expect lovely scenery in the city of Lynn but definitely a great trail worth the visit (Rating: 3.5)

The weekly Video/Photo section highlights an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments. If you have followed my blog from the beginning you know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy.  We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven.  It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year after his passing we welcomed little Wilma into our world.  We were devastated to loose Shadow on April 3, 2020.These two precious boys will be furever in our hearts! We were recently thrilled to add another amazing rescue, Gus, to our home on June 28, 2021! This Weekly Video/Photo section will allow me to share photos from all four of my rescues, whether it be a precious memory, or a current moment.

I thought this month I would share some of my favorite past holiday photos and possibly videos for the Weekly Video/Photo segment. As many of you may know I love creating fun holiday cards and photographs of my pups, which started many years ago with Shadow and Buster. This process can be quite entertaining, but often comes out just right. Today’s photograph is one of Buster, kind of a blooper shot but I still love it. This is one of the first photo shoots I remember. As I was taking photos we had many other visitors to the beach stop to smile, laugh, and even ask if they could take photographs. I remember my northern friends saying how the white sand almost looked like snow. Although it is not the clearest photograph it is one that will always be special to me. Here is sweet Buster, he sure is missed:

Shadow was definitely king of the top-hat! Here they are:

Todays photograph is one of Wilma and Gus from this past weekend’s trip to Plymouth. They were posing on a bench high above a lovely coastal scene. I think this has been one of my favorite places in Plymouth to take photos. This picture might be a repeat for friends and family, but I had to share with my followers. Here they are:

Todays photograph is one of Wilma from one of our local walks early this month. I was actually taking a shot of Wilma and Gus but Gus had more exciting things to watch (haha!). Wilma was quite focused so the perfect Weekly Photo. Here she is:

Today’s photograph is one of sweet Gus cuddled by my side. I have been quite sick for almost a month now and Wilma and Gus have been taking great care of me, laying closely, making me laugh, and keeping me going. I think very slowly things are turning around and I am hoping we will be on a new Adventure soon. So grateful for the amazing therapy these two have provided me. Here is one of sweet Gus:

Other Tidbits, Fun, and News

I am excited to announce that I will be adding a new category to my Menu, New England Rail Trails!! I have been to many Rail Trails over the years so thought it was time to add this category. I am hoping that I did not miss any, but there is always a chance of that. Most blogs are adventures on just the Rail Trail, however some of the blogs include them as part of the Adventure. I have been sick for over two weeks now and have been miserable this weekend. Therefore, I thought this was a good time to add this category having no new blogs to share.

I decided to pick a variety of photographs from these blogs and create a collage below. We have explored Rail Trails in all seasons and found quite the variety of scenery from bridges to sculptures to wood to lakes, and much more. Wilma definitely has been the queen of the Rail Trails, having been to the majority of Trails. However, I believe the first one I discovered was when I resided in Pepperell and enjoyed the local Rail Trail regularly with Shadow and Buster. Gus has been to many, and I am sure there will be more to come. Below you will see the direct link, however you can also find this category in the menu.

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma and Gus playing tug of war. I have loved watching these two bond, playing more and more every day. They enjoy tug of war, keep away, and running throughout the yard. Although Gus often is the initiator in these play sessions, Wilma too begins the fun. It has been just so special to watch this pair grow to perfection. Here they are, in action:

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma from last weekend at the Ticonic Footbridge, also known as the Two Cent Bridge crossing the Kennebec River connecting Winslow and Waterville, Maine. The Bridge was quite spectacular, although a dark day to capture the scene. Poor Gus wanted nothing to do with the bridge, so after My Mom took a walk on her own, she sat in the car with Gus so Wilma and I could check it out. Such a good poser – My girl Wilma!

Today’s photograph is of Gus from this weekend in Lubec, Maine! It was a little dark out, but a lovely Harbor area filled with fishing boats and views of the Canadian border. Wilma was exploring on the other side of the rock (haha) so an excuse for a photograph of my boy Gus – isn’t he just adorable?!
