Merry Christmas, everyone! We have come through a year of fear and loss. Let’s hope for better days ahead.

Long Pond
Long Pond in the Middlesex Fells — 6.2-mile hike this afternoon ahead of the storm. 
Alewife
Near the Alewife T station earlier today. It turns out that if you take a five-mile walk when it’s cold and raining, you hardly have to wear a mask.
Gray day in the Fells
Middle Reservoir, Middlesex Fells. Looking north.
Sunrise
From Hattie Symmes Park in Arlington at 7 a.m.
Bedford Depot
Twenty-three-mile-plus ride, mostly along the Minuteman.
On the Rail Trail in Topsfield
Cape Cod Canal bike path
Great ride today on the south side of the Cape Cod Canal bike path, almost exactly a year after we rode the north side. We had to make our way through a stiff headwind on the way back, but otherwise it was a beautiful day with lots to see.

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail
Eighteen-mile ride this afternoon along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, from Acton to Chelmsford and back. I didn’t start taking pictures until the return trip, so this is north to south.
Willowdale State Forest
I took a six-mile hike in Willowdale State Forest in Topsfield on Saturday. And for th first time in ages, I managed to avoid getting off the trail in the confusing northwest section. Beautiful day for a hike!
