Fish, Fog, Fauna and Fowl — pat morss

Last weekend featured the Gloucester Fisheries Heritage festival on the Jodrey State Fish Pier, as part of Gloucester’s 400+ year anniversary celebration. Elsewhere around Cape Ann life was playing out normally.

The local fresh fish industry was educating us on the variety of North Atlantic species.
“Capt. Novello” told stories of the bountiful earlier fishing days.
Across the pier were the Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute and the big boats.
Nathanael Tardis had contemporary stories, while renovating the galley on ‘Endeavor.’
It must be a reeducation learning how to operate all this gear.
It got pretty foggy off Eastern Point last week, as this kayaker discovered.
And the wind turbine erecting vessel ‘Sea Installer’ passed by, disappearing in the fog.
Over in the Audubon Sanctuary, education was ongoing in this deer family.
Then a break from the serious stuff with run and jump time.
At Niles Pond a Little Blue Heron took it easy in the midday sun.
In the morning these male turkeys were plotting who they were going to harass today.
