Make Way for Ducklings
I was standing so still while filming yesterday morning that I don’t think the female mallard was at first aware of my presence. What a wonderful treat to see she and the ducklings emerge from the reeds growing along the water’s edge. They are amazingly fast and adeptly darted through the water and across the beach, as though they had been born months earlier. I was getting a tremendous cramp and had to stand quickly, which was mama mallard’s cue to chide the ducklings back into the tall grass.
Peggy’s House, a Cape Ann Cottage
Photographs by Robert Lerch
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (May 26, 2015) – The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Peggy’s House, a Cape Ann Cottage, a photographic series by Robert Lerch. The one-day exhibit will take place at the White-Ellery House onSaturday, June 6 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The White-Ellery House is located at 245 Washington Street in Gloucester at the Route 128 Grant Circle Rotary. This program is free and open to the public.
Peggy’s House is a collection of photos, primarily interiors, all taken in one particular house in Annisquam. Built in 1761, “Peggy’s House” is one of only 65 or so known surviving Cape Ann cottages. Typically referred to as a story and a half with a gambrel roof, it was the vernacular house of the time. During the Colonial period, approximately 350 Cape Ann cottages dotted the coastline around the island, and were home to the many families who made their livelihood fishing and farming.
Robert Lerch said of working on this project, “I am fortunate and grateful that I was given the opportunity to photograph inside a very special Cape Ann Cottage, within the current owner’s daily living space.”
Robert Lerch is a contemporary fine art photographer who has owned and operated a gallery on Bearskin Neck in Rockport for 35 years. His work is sensitive, soulful, and full of substance. He uses all found material and works only with natural light.
The White-Ellery House, located at 245 Washington Street in Gloucester at the Route 128 Grant Circle Rotary, was built in 1710 and is one of just a handful of First Period houses in Eastern Massachusetts that survives to this day. Unlike other structures of this period, the largely unfurnished house has had very few interior alterations over the years. Stepping inside today, visitors enter much the same house they would have 300 years ago. The historic home will be open this year on the first Saturday of June, August, September and October as part of Escapes North 17th Century Saturdays. Parking is available off Poplar Street in the field behind the house.

Celebrating the Life and Work of Roger Martin
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (May 27, 2015) – In conjunction with the special exhibition Bill of Lading: The Art & Poetry of Roger Martin, the Cape Ann Museum presents a celebration of the life and work of Roger Martin on Saturday, June 6 at 2:00 p.m. This program is free for Museum members or with Museum admission.

Celebrating Roger Martin will take place in the special exhibition gallery where Bill of Lading is currently on view (the exhibition closes on June 28). A panel discussion will be lead by John Ronan, producer and host of The Writer’s Block. John will be joined by Greg Bover, Vice President of Operations at C.B. Fisk who will discuss Martin’s time at Fisk and bring examples of Martin’s carvings done for Harvard University’s Memorial Church; publisher and historian David McAveeney of Curious Traveller Press, the publisher for Martin’s Rockport recollections; Thorpe Feidt, Martin’s friend, Montserrat colleague and fellow artist; and his children Mari and Chris who will share their father’s poetry.
Bill of Lading explores the art and poetry of Rockport native, Roger Martin (1925-2015). A founder of Montserrat College of Art and a long-time member of its faculty, the town of Rockport’s first Poet Laureate and compiler of three books celebrating the people and poetry of his hometown, and a highly respected graphic artist, illustrator and painter, Roger Martin has long been one of Cape Ann’s most distinguished and creative individuals.

Got Fish? Boyhood at its Best.
I have a feeling there are many days just like this one in these boys’ futures. I love so much that this is how they care to spend their days while growing up on Cape Ann. Good friends, good times, good fishermen. Watching them enjoy each other’s company like this, while doing what they love, gives me the total warm fuzzies.
