My View of Life on the Dock
He or she, stranded himself in my bird feeder to get food. Yes, the squirrel is alive. We saw him blinking his eye. Find that picture re eye. We all think this is a fun incident to share. What do you think? Choose as many pictures as you like. My neighbors, the Vaneck’s took these great pics.

Regarding Wednesday April 22 2020
This extreme sports enthusiast was out there a long time. I wonder how hard it is on the arms?
(Meanwhile, it was so windy I had trouble holding my phone.)
LuminArtz is partnering with Ocean Alliance to bring you “Light up the Night” – Part 4 on their Facebook Live Page, Wednesday night at 9:00 PM.
Here’s a sneak peak!
With social distancing, we are all feeling a bit scared and lost. Covid-19 is touching each one of us and the request to stay at home keeps getting extended. But that doesn’t mean we can’t come together!
LuminArtz is partnering with Communications, Ink and other local organizations to launch “Light Up the Night” — a project that will project messages of hope and inspiration. Every week they will project from an undisclosed location in Essex County and stream it live to their Facebook page.
Check out last Sunday evening’s installment of “Hope is a Thing with Feathers”, the work of JennyMae Kho at a Historic Beverly location. Amazing work!
Check their events page for the next date and time. Stay safe & stay home!
Love the color of this flower from Stacy Boulevard.
A letter to families from the Superintendent as shared on Facebook. I took this news as a bit of a blow but no more so than parents, teachers, coaches, athletes and especially seniors. For additional information from Gov. Baker’s conference today: https://www.wcvb.com/article/baker-closes-schools-for-rest-of-academic-year-as-coronavirus-cases-surge-in-massachusetts/32222862
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am writing to inform you that Governor Baker has just announced that school closure will be extended through the school year. This comes after extensive deliberation on the matter at the state level.
For our part, the district teachers and administrators will continue to hone their instructional delivery, materials and resources to provide remote learning as best they can. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will be providing updated guidelines regarding the remote delivery of education this week, specifically, highlighting best practices. Our district will take these recommendations under advisement.
Now that we know that the rest of the school year will be done remotely, let us all be resolute in working together to provide our students with the best education and support possible.
Best wishes,
Richard Safier, Superintendent

I could photograph Gloucester’s fishing fleet all day long. It is so beautiful and tells such an important story of today and yesterday and all of the years that have made Gloucester the city that we know and love. A story of pride and a story of heartbreak. I took this photo on Sunday. On Monday, the city lost another fisherman. My thoughts, prayers, and love go out to all of those who are missing him today. Nicola “Nick” Patancia Vitale, Gloucester’s Fishermen’s Statue was hoping to guide you home, but stands in your honor instead.
My nephew Tim is currently stationed in Portland Maine with the USCG. He sent me this picture from the fantail of the USCG cutter Sitkinak. Gloucester vessels Blue Water III and Christina Carol sitting side by side in Portland. I guess it really is a small world after all! Thank you to Tim and his crew mates for their service. Special recognition to our own Coast Guard for their assistance yesterday with the tragic incident aboard the Miss Sandy. Blessings on the family.
