Lightning Show This Morning

Driving in from the west at 3:30AM this morning I followed the light show of a lightning storm as it headed east.

Lightning is very hard to photograph. No tripod and no idea how to keep the lens open on the camera. This is from I4C2 and the light in the distance is not the sun coming up. It’s about 4:15.

Had to burn some time before going epic fail rock hunting so went to Rockport. Lightning still going nuts but much harder to catch any since the shutter would not stay open. I took a ton of shots between strikes.

Signs at Good Harbor Beach

 Friday June 4 was a beach day for some.  It was a beautiful day but only a few enjoyed it.

As I entered the parking lot, and was greeted by Mark Haverland, I noticed how many signs were posted, around that little booth.

The beach was not crowded, but the life guard was watching every person who ventured towards the water.

I also met a family from Concord, with their college aged daughters, I think the father was taking a break from tuition, and two women from Canada, Petra, and Ruth.  It is always interesting to talk to people and why they come to Gloucester, the response is always because they LOVE IT.  We are lucky!

The Market Restaurant On Lobster Cove

Lobster Cove- It Doesn’t Suck

If you haven’t heard from every food blogger known to man on the North Shore there is a huge buzz about The Market Restaurant On Lobster Cove.

Due to things ramping up down the dock and a huge swell of coverage by far better writers than me I figured I leave the foodie coverage to the real food writers and get over there as soon as I could with video camera in hand to do what I like to do best- In person video interviews with pictures  of people telling me what it’s all about in their own words.

Until I can get there, check out all the raving reviews this place has got from my blogging buddies in it’s short time open-

They Also Tweet-image

The Folks that are running the joint worked at a famous place in California named famous Chez Panisse. The local twitter foodies have been wetting themselves over the prospect of a couple of chefs from famous Chez Panisse coming home to cook for us so there must be something worth checking out.  I’m looking forward to meeting them and giving y’all the inside skinny.

Turn Me Over!

In order to figure out where this rock is and find the super secret message you have to see Paul Frontiero’s post about his rock. Which is still out there. Or not. Who cares about his rock. Mine is cooler and has a secret message on the back.

This is the lovely breakfast I had at Twin Sisters after not finding Paul F’s rock.

Home fries, hash, with linguica and all sorts of other good stuff and two over very easy. Anadama toast. Hey, who you staring at, ever seen a grown man play with his breakfast?
