Two Moons From Tom Cronin

Hi Joe,

I am a regular reader and once contributed some photos of whales in the harbor.

Last night’s moonrise was about the prettiest I’ve seen. Orange and full.

Here are photos of it rising up between the Dog Bar and Eastern Point Yacht Club . .

Happy 4th of July! Red, White and Blue Stacy Boulevard Then | Now

Red, white and blue. Historic homes and cottages.

photos: Gloucester, Mass. Stacy Boulevard

  • July 4, 2023
  • vintage postcard (saved by my grandparents, found in their desk that I inherited
  • winter scene from 2020 (Christmas in July 🙂 )
  • 2017, 2018, 2019 vantage to note evolution of remodeling (the blue home was remodeled from its green door to the red door/blue exterior there today)
  • 1942 Gordon Parks that I’m re-sharing from March 1, 2014 — asking again in case anyone can help identify the boys in the photo

Burnham’s Field Days Start Tomorrow

Burnham’s Field Days start tomorrow and will continue on Wednesday mornings all summer. Free lunches for the children provided by Open Door Food Pantry. Seems like a win-win for parents and caregivers.

Man’s Best Friend

Man’s best friend. This sight kind of made my day. While driving down the boulevard and quickly stuck at the bridge, I happened to catch this moment between a person and their precious dog. I hope this photo finds this person! They are obviously lucky to have each other.
