Out on the Water — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Summer is the best time to enjoy Gloucester Harbor and the adjacent coast.

In the harbor, we see Hammond Castle, a listed National Historic Landmark.
Beauport Museum is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
As is the Eastern Point Light Station, viewed from outside the breakwater.
Schooner ‘Adventure’ is yet another of Gloucester’s listed cultural treasures.
The US Coast Guard is a valued treasure of a different sort.
Visitors to Dog Bar breakwater, with schooner ‘Thomas E Lannon’ beyond.
‘Ernestina Morrissey’ is a regular participant in the Labor Day schooner races.
Lobsters or sportfishing (see rods on canopy)? OK to enjoy business and pleasure.
Our Yngling class, Norwegian sailboat ‘Troll,’ encounters her Viking heritage.
‘Polaris’ has 14 oars – does she enter the Blackburn Cup race around Cape Ann?
If you’re not on a boat, it doesn’t matter. You can still enjoy the water. Morning mist.

Red Purple Spotted Surprise

Posted on by Pat D

Jim saw an unusual (for our yard) butterfly on our back deck a few days ago so it gave me a chance to work that new lens. This busy butterfly was extra interested in what bits it could salvage from the bird feeder which I found a bit odd. It hung around quite a while in the tree branch, on the railing and on the bird feeder. I think it is a Red Purple Spotted butterfly which is apparently not very uncommon in our area though I haven’t seen much of them myself. It was a treat to watch it as I unwound from the afternoon at the store.
