My View of Life on the Dock
Photos: Late October 2024. Views from the deck at Beauport Hotel offer sweeping vistas of Gloucester Harbor year round. Come fall, the sunsets are dynamic, stunning and lengthy. One meal can feel like a vacation or cruise. And there are blankets! p.s. the forecast this week looks promising!
On the way to picnic at Good Harbor or Long Beach? Stop in Jeff’s Variety 91 Eastern Ave. The sandwich counter is open until 4pm. They’ve been as busy as summertime this October.
Thank you, mother nature, for your beauty.
At First Blush…
I was up in Portsmouth with friends Saturday night and a gentleman had an enormous telescope set up on the street and was offering the chance to take a peek at Saturn. While it was visible with the naked eye it was obviously tiny, but it was crystal clear through his telescope and I was so sad that we stopped to take a look. Saturn is 870,000,000 miles away….. which for even a non-astronomy nut like myself is pretty mind-boggling.
This Great Blue Heron was actively hunting in the bright fall sunshine when I stopped to watch. They are fascinating. Though it’s backlit, I think the photos came out well enough to share. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to watch one of these beauties.
Good Morning Gloucester
