Hank and Eddy are in Residence — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

We’re pleased to announce that Hank Heron (The Great Blue) and Eddy Egret (The Great White) are back in fall residence next to our house.

Hank Heron spends his days on various branches of the same tree.
Much of the time napping. He’s not missing half of his right leg (enlarge photo).
Some days he brings a friend with him, who leaves early.
“Why are you staring at me? I’m dealing with an uncomfortable fall molt.”
He does his best to get his remaining feathers in order before heading out to hunt.
He’s a bit awkward, taking off daily around 5:00 pm, before sunset.
Out for dinner, like every evening.
Meanwhile, Eddy Egret is dancing around the rocks at low tide looking for snacks.
He’s a seasoned and efficient fisherman.
Seemingly coming up, at will, with fish that blend in with the seaweed. (enlarge)
There’s nothing like a good shake, wet dog style, after lunch.
“Now I feel much better.”
“Tell me honestly – what do you think about my feathers, compared with Hank’s?”
Time to move on with the tide coming in.
The ‘Concorde’ gains speed and altitude. “See you tomorrow.”

Tall Ship Lynx Follow Up

Posted on by Pat D

I heard this from Mike Farwell in response to my recent post about Tall Ship Lynx hauled out at the Marine Railways on Rocky Neck:

I just saw your post of the Lynx on GMG. Ironically, I was down in Nantucket a few weeks ago and snapped a photo of it out on the water. My boat is right across the way in Smith Cove, will definitely have to head down and check it out.

I have attached the photo I shot of the Lynx in action.

Sculptures from Horseshoes

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

These pieces of art are amazing.  Mr. Kris Francis is an incredible artist.  You can contact Kris through Instagram:  JKFmetal.  Love the fact he uses all used metal and recycles and upcycles to these terrific pieces of art.

Fun fact, Kris is teaching his daughter, Summer, the art of metal.  She has made the pumpkins made from horseshoes.
