All these photos were taken a week ago while I was in Newburyport, Mass. The rain had just let up and the sun was dancing in and out of the clouds. Perfect for photography.
Heavy rain pulled down blossoms that were already hanging by a thread
I such a sucker for a white picket fence
It's been raining here for days. I'm anxious to get out and take pictures but between work and this miserable weather the odds aren't in my favor. From what I understand many other bloggers are dealing with endless rain too. Here's hoping we all get a bit of sunshine soon!

Whether it's the NE or the NW rain has taken over where the snow once presided. Where is the sunny weather??? I once found a little book on taking pictures on gray days by an Oregon photographer. But the trick is to keep your camera dry between showers. In any event, love your rainy day shots - lovely images.
Loved every single one of your photos, Sharon. Gorgeous. Susan
Know what you mean - we are finally getting a break from the rain, but more coming in Fri. & Sat. :(
Enjoyed seeing your photos.
Ooooooooing and ahhhhhhhhing here!! Don't know if I spelled that right!! Thanks for my virtual tour!
Gorgeous photos! I love old towns and the beautiful flowering trees and shrubs. We've had the same weather but ours will be improving starting tomorrow - finally! I hope yours does too. ;-) Pamela
Beautiful photos, you are a superb photographer! And I, too, am a sucker for white picket fences. :)
Best,
Gloria
Oh goodness - what beautiful pictures! Those buildings are magnificent and I, too, love white picket fences!!
These are just the absolute essence of spring in New England. I can just smell the air when I look at these photos. Ah, damp air, too. So rare here in the desert.
Wow, nice portrayal of a lovely town. So glad it cleared up for you.
Looks like rain til Saturday. This is getting ridiculous!
Love your photos
for me it's like entering a world I don't know ....
it is so different from Italy
have a nice day

Sharon, lovely post! I am very taken with your part of the world. I've never been there, but it certainly appeals to me.
What a grand house that is!
We had a rare sunny day today. It was so nice! We have had a lot of rain too!
Yes. Endless rain here too, but in many ways it makes for some beautiful photography in between the showers. Soon it will be hot and humid outdoors so I'm hoping the springtime rains stick around a while longer.

i love how all the trees are in bloom! i took my mom (she is from ipswich and i now live in gloucester) to maudlay state park for mother's day and then downtown for lunch and all the trees were singing with bees and blooming, it was so beautiful!
What a pretty town...your pictures capture it perfectly! I feel the same way about white picket fences...they always add such charm to a yard.
Let's hear it for some SUNSHINE!!!
Your photos are just beautiful, I love walking around old Newburyport, it's such a great town! Have a great week!
Simply lovely photos!
As to the rain, yes we over in NYS are stuck under this ding-dang rain pattern too. -pout-
Gentle hugs,
~♥~
It looks blooming lovely! So different from when we were in MA last October. x
Yep , rain, rain, rain. But when the sun peeks out, great photo opps happen. Like yours! These are beautiful!
We need to form a posse and go out in search of that sun. Love these images. My fav is the wreath on the door shoot. But I have to say between you and Steve at Shooting My Universe I am longing for New England now. But I can't get back there till next summer. Carol
My gosh, girl. These are luscious.
Raining here too. It feels like it's been days. Oh, wait. It has. The sun came out some on Sunday and it was pretty steamy. It would be so nice to see the sun ~
We're up to our eyeballs here in Southwestern Ontario..really, enough is enough. : )
Love the shot with the boy on a scooter!

You really take me away from my cares and worries with your photographs.
They are utterly beautiful.
Thank you

There is nothing like the beautiful colors of spring! Love those pink trees!
We finally got a little bit of sun today! And that first photo of the yellow house is amazing.
gorgeous shots - amazing the difference in seasons. we're into summer here....a bit early but it's definitely summer
Gorgeous photos! I wish my neighborhood looked like that right now.
I'm mesmerized by these photos, Sharon! So many beautiful details and colors. After a lot of rain, we've had some glorious sunny days. I hope you have, too, and that your weekend is great! xo – g
Oh yes, I'm a sucker for a white picket fence, too. What beautiful houses there -- quintessential New England!
We finally saw the sun for a few minutes today. I really thought I would go nuts if I had to go through one more day of rain... Looking forward to a sunny weekend. Hope yours is sunny, too, Sharon!
xoxo
What beautiful photos and love the photos of the homes! You live in an area I would love to visit someday! Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo Kim
I just came back from North Beach (went to the Beach Plum) and Newburyport. I recognized a lot of these houses. Wonderful photos.
Thanks for sharing these, Sharon! They are gorgeous. Made this yankee homesick for the old sights. I moved from Rowley, MA to WI ten years ago. Newburyport was one of our favorite spots. (Not much sun here either.) Joyce
Beautiful photos. I love those red trees and that home is gorgeous.
I love that first shot, with the raindrops on the apple blossoms!!!
Beautiful images! Rainy days can also be beautiful, especially if seen through a camera lense - your lense :-)
Thank you for warm words on my blog. And for liking my signature :-)

I was in Newburyport in the fall once... gorgeous town!
