Nice day on Sunday to go see the Santa Maria in Newburyport. Of course it is a replica but very impressive. The next stop is the Great Lakes.
As part of the Exhibition Discover Rocky Neck, artists have donated 100% or 50% of the sale of multiple artworks in the show’s Silent Auction. The price of many artworks opens at a bargain price, some as low as $12. Originally scheduled to end on June 15, the show organizers have moved the deadline to 5:00 pm on June 9 to coincide with the festive reception for Art Collectors, New Home Owners, Realtors, Home Decorators, Art Lovers and Tour Participants. At that time, whoever has written in the highest bid on the auction bidding sheet will walk away with a one-of-a-kind art treasure.

I always look forward to reading about all of the places that GMG’s Pat and Jim visit during their busy weeks….and seeing what wonderful photos they take along the way. I was happy to bump into them on the deck of Captain Carlos the other day. Our plans suddenly changed, my brother was in town from California, my mother, dad, and sister were all available….so we decided to grab a bite and a drink in the deck on the sun. Pat and Jim were doing the very same thing.
Cheers to you two!
To update you on the backyard red tailed hawk nest that we have been watching, we now believe there are at least 3 chicks in there.
It’s difficult to get clear shots of the nest through the trees, but Jim did a great job recently:
Flexing wings:
I think there’s 3 here. That nest must be pretty large.
Parent in nest perhaps bringing breakfast to the brood:
Watchful parent nearby:
So sorry to have to post that we lost one of our little chicks last night. It’s impossible to know what happened; there were not tracks or signs of unusual activity. Could it be the chick became separated from the family in the heavy fog and last night’s thunderstorm? We’ve seen chicks survive on similar nights and we lost one in 2017 after a thunderstorm. They are only three days old today so I imagine the rough weather is rough on the chicks, too.
Three-day-old chicks this morning
