Huskies Frolic in Yarmouth

These Siberian Huskies love the outdoors.

Deep in the woods of Yarmouth these Siberian Huskies were practicing for sled duty. Steve Lucas helps guide the 4 huskies through the woods, tethered to a scooter rather than a sled. This group happily pulled a sled during the recent snow, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the outdoors. They were a young, lively bunch, ready to offer a cold snout and friendly greeting!

 

 

If you spot them deep in the woods-stand clear!

They just might kill you with cuteness.  :)

Daffodils, crocuses, and amaryllis all lie in wait for spring warmth, as do we.

YPD "Fill a Cruiser" event

Community-Oriented Efforts by The Yarmouth Police Department

Story and photos by Jonathan Mayo

On Sunday January 10th the Yarmouth Police held their "Fill a Cruiser with Food"  Event at two local supermarkets. Officers sought food donations at Shaw's in South Yarmouth and Stop & Shop's Long Pond Rd. location.

The efforts supported the Brown Bag Program, run by the Yarmouth Senior Center and Yarmouth Rotary Club.

Officer Melissa Alden was credited by fellow Officers for working very hard on the program.

Above we see her posing beside Lieutenant Steven Xiarhos. The two had just arrived from the Long Pond Road location.

By 10 AM substantial donations had already accumulated.

Though the event ends at 1 PM donations can still made at the YPD Headquarters, One Brad Erickson Way, West Yarmouth.    

Here we see Officer Chuck Ainsworth describing the efforts.              

Officer Steven Mihos is on the right below.

We applaud the community-oriented efforts of the YPD!

Seal on Ice

Video and slideshow- Yarmouthport and Brewster

Welcome to The Poet's Perspective.

This morning , In Yarmouthport, a juvenile harbor seal was out on the snow and ice of the marsh,  fairly upland from the salt water. He/She rested for awhile before flopping towards the nearest river.

I could only film from a safe distance, making sure not to crowd the little critter.

I also included a slideshow from Grey's Beach in Yarmouthport, where high tides have  strewn beach grass on piers. We also visit Wing Island in Brewster, where water and ice have rendered the flats largely  inaccessible from CCMNH.

Enjoy!
