Dragonfly Catcher

I shot this photo of a dragonfly ten years ago, when it was easier than it is now for me to crawl on my hands and knees chasing little critters through the weeds. The image reminds me of a wonderful haiku by Chiyo, a Japanese poet who died in 1775.

The poem’s meaning becomes clear and poignant when we are told that it was written upon the death of Chiyo’s young son. The poet then became a nun.

Hokku (haiku)

Dragonfly catcher,

unidentified duck

I’ve seen this little diving duck a number of mornings at Niles Beach.  At first I thought it was a juvenile eider, but it is too small and dives differently than eiders.  It has a long spear of a tail feather, which you can see in the first and last photos.  It may be a juvenile of its kind, but I have no idea what it is.  It spends very little time above water and a long time under so it was challenging to shoot.  Does anyone know what it is?

Super Senior Max here! My super power you ask? “Purr of Calming” because I am sure to warm your heart and calm your soul once you hear my sweet purr. I have a bit of a sad story…My owner passed away and I had no one that could take care of me. With all the changes I am feeling a bit shy and like to peek out at you from my bed. Think I could be the perfect match for you and your family? Super Seniors Cat Adoption Program is made possible in part by a grant from the Petco Foundation. For more information about Max or any of his furry friends please visit the shelter in person or check our website www.capeannanimalaid.org for more information.

Would It Be Strange For A Man To Drive Across Town To Casually Drop In On His Wife’s Wine/Book Club With Her Girlfriends?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Say a woman gets together with her girlfriends every so often for a wine/book club night where they kabitz about women stuff and drink copious amounts of wine and pretend to talk about the latest books they’ve read and one of the husbands randomly drops in 3 weeks in a row.  Is that strange or totally acceptable?

Good Eggs in Rockport

Posted on by Nichole S.

The other day I did some live blogging as some Navy midshipmen and sailors took the field against some very happy youth from the town of Rockport for a spirited game of kickball.

I wanted to take a moment to thank some of fantastic sponsors who helped make the Rockport Navy Weekend a success.

We all know that events such as this cannot happen without the time and energy given by committee members, volunteers, kind towns people, and of course, sponsors.

The sponsors’ banners were proudly displayed at the ball field.

After the game many hungry participants were treated to tons of pizza donated by the Rockport House of Pizza and delicious ice cream sandwiches donated by the Dairy Train!

Henry Cooper Granite Visions New Short Film “Porcelain”

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The short movie PORCELAIN, a bittersweet scene about a father battling dementia and reconnecting with his son, was created for the 24 Hour Film Race (www.filmracing.com). The story and production have to be completed in the 24 hour period and the story needs to include the three elements (theme: an unexpected guest, prop: a cookie, action: watering a plant). Pre-production work (prior to the 24 hour period) included location scouting, casting, building the crew, weekly meetings, and release forms. Starring Ariel Sargent, Topher Hansson, and Gordon Baird. Cast and crew hail from Gloucester, Rockport, and Worcester. Please enjoy!
