While filming B-roll for several projects I caught the sunrise at Brace Cove this October morning. The seals were awakening, as were the swan couple, the cormorants and gulls stretching wide their wings, and the songbirds breaking fast on the abundance of wild berries and seed heads found along the berm at Niles Pond.

Good Morning Gloucester 
The seal pics are wonderful. I often think this is the best time of year, even better than summer.

Thank you Terry– it was beautiful and fall- like at every turn, and the seals were a real treat to see. Plus, as I was leaving, I noticed many more swimming across the cove towards the rocks.

Thanks Dave. The cardinal is one of my favorites–always first at the bird feeder in the am and last to leave in the pm.
