Snowy Owl Sighting


http://nyti.ms/1jTagWh

There it was sitting on top of a car outside of my office - a large office park on the north side  of Woburn. I thought someone had l eft a bag on the roof until it flew away. Great, slow waves of its wings.

I saw where it went - the gravel depot the property company uses at the end of the parking lot. I parked, hoping it was in sight. It  sat just long enough for me to take a photo and then silently it swooped away.

Coincidentally, that day the New York Times had an article about sightings of this beautiful bird. Explains why I haven't seen any lemmings here lately!

Who Are These People?

My cousin Joddy found these photos while going through his mother's personal effects. They are wonderful! They are probably all related to the Weil/Wahl and Abramowitz/Abrams families. We've been able to identify some of the people in the photos, but not all. Can you help? I've numbered each photo for reference. Please contact me if you have information. More photos to come!
