Just a little dark humor spotted on this grave stone engraving in the cemetery beside St. John's Church. If you are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, don't stuff yourself too much.

Standing Tall

The trees in the Quincy Credit Union parking lot are hanging onto their leaves a bit longer.

Thursday is "This Old House Day"

The 1803 Elijah Spear House, the the oldest residence in Germantown, was built in a simple Cape Cod cottage style. It is set on a granite foundation, has a symmetrical facade composed of a central entrance with two windows on each side and a large chimney piercing the roof. This is one of few surviving "Capes" in Quincy and was part of a large farm that extended to McGrath Highway. The John Quincy Adams family owned this from 1890 to 1905. Baker Beach can be seen to the left of this picturesque old house.

Where's The Window Washer?

You can barely make out Boston's Custom House tower through the salt soaked window of a commuter boat headed to Long Wharf in Boston. Granite was hauled from Quincy in the mid 1800s to erect this magnificent structure.

It's Monochrome Monday . . . enjoy!

The joy of fishing is written all over this woman's face. She didn't seem to mind wading in the cold water.

Flipping Out

This Atlantic humpback whale, named Pitcher, took a break from its feeding frenzy to show off its white fins. It was an incredible sight to take in just a few miles north of Quincy Bay at the National Marine Sanctuary called Stellwagen Bank.

Did you know that the East Coast Humpbacks have white fins and the West Coast variety have black fins?

Retrieve!

Many canines like to take a late day dip in Black's Creek.
