California Coast!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

beach caves, hiking, sunrise, sunset, lagoons, pelicans, herons, egrets, canyons, white-knuckle twisting roads, surfers, sister butterflies, hummingbirds, monarch eucalyptus groves, bike lanes, zero litter, blue blue sunny skies, sundown ferris wheel on the pier, barefoot breakfast at the beach house, old friends, new friends, happy daughter, sweet funny new future son–the magical world where mountains meet the sea, that is the California coast!
Fun photos to post when I return.

Cape Ann Museum

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Please do not forget that for Gloucester residents admission is free at the Cape Ann Museum in January. Rick and I went on Saturday and were totally amazed how wonderful this museum is. They allow some photography but only used my cell phone. We thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to go again.

Look at my cute face!  Cooper is what folks are calling me, along with sweetheart and love-muffin of course.  I am a happy and adorable puppy just starting to learn things.  I am excited to experience my first snow storm and can’t wait to bundle up for playing in the flakes!  Are you looking for someone to cuddle with after a brisk winter walk, well I am your boy!

A Present Surprise

A week later, I look back on Medical Monday. In Addison Gilbert Hospital, I was eating a chicken salad wrap between appointments, when Lisa Smith of Cape Ann TV came up and gave me an unexpected gift. The bright flowers and yellow mug make a great pair. I’ve never been a “Smiley Face” guy, but now this mug is my favorite. Thank you Lisa. I’ll do my best to get well soon.

LOCAL ARTIST MUSIC VIDEO: POCKET TANYA – ‘JUNKIE POP’ : DIRECTED BY CRAIG KIMBERLEY

Posted on by Craig Kimberley

Here’s the video we debuted Friday night at the Dog Bar. Please enjoy, share, and repeat! (click the gear tap to get HD)

This video was a true run-and-gun production. We had about 30 minutes to film the EMPIRE scenes, and about 1 hr for the DOG BAR scenes. The only crew on the shoot was me, and it was all hand held with on rigs, jibs, or gadgets. Paul, aka Pocket Tanya, is an amazing self-producing artist from Gloucester. He has endless energy while performing live, and develops a true connection with his audience at every performance. Paul writes, sings, raps, and produces some amazing tracks. With an amazing mix of 80’s, funk, pop, and hip hop, he somehow upholds all of those styles while creating his sound he calls “Junkie Pop.” If you ever get the chance, get out and support local artists like Pocket Tanya!
