My View of Life on the Dock
This lobster they are touting at The Aquarium is not a one in thirty million lobster. We’ve documented several Calico lobsters at our dock in Gloucester Ma along with blue, albino and yellow ones. Also triple pincer claw lobsters. Here’s pictures and videos of them-

This shot was taken alongside the Railway at The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center looking out across the harbor to the East Gloucester Marine Railway.
The amount of light in this shot is deceiving because the shutter was left open for a good long time to try to collect as much light as possible to burn in the colors. Obviously this type of shot with such little available light is not possible without the aid of a tripod.
Click the photo to see it larger and the details on the Adventure and boats tied up at The East Gloucester Marine Railway all the way across the harbor. I like this shot a lot especially considering the very little light available to use.
Below is what it looked like to the human eye without the long exposure-

This www.gloucesterwebcam.com local webcam portal project was an idea I had last year to have as many webcams streaming from local businesses or organizations as possible which highlight the incredible vistas that we as people that live and work here get to enjoy each and every day.
The idea was to have the organization install the webcam, have them embed the webcam feed on their own websites as well and have a link to each business website on the Gloucester webcam portal website to showcase their business as well.
Tim Blakeley from Gloucester Bytes provided the initial installation at ridiculously cheap cost because he believed in the project.
While checking out my twitter feed I came across this little gem from the official Liberty Tree Mall twitter account @ShopLibertyTree
“@ShopLibertyTree: RT your thoughts on high waisted jean shorts – LOVE it or LEAVE it?”
Let me in no uncertain terms explain to our lovely lady FOBs-
Just Say No To Mom Jeans in any form- shorts or full length.
Don’t be a victim of this horrible fashion crime!
If you’re on twitter let @ShopLibertyTree know. This is irresponsible tweeting.
Next thing they will be telling women it’s cool to double up on the denim, there’s not much worse that the denim top and bottom ensemble except for maybe the denim top AND mom jean bottoms.
What is this world coming to????
The horror!

Our Kwanzan Cherry Tree Which Has Yet To Be Demolished This Year By The Beetles Which Ravage It Annually.
This video was done more to test the manual focus on the camera I use, the Sony NEX-5N
Shot with Sony NEX-5N and Sony 50mm f/1.8 Lens
I have a love hate relationship with this tree. when it blooms it is beautiful but every year it gets smoked by these small green inchworm looking things first and then these shiny beetles and looks nice for roughly 3 weeks out of the year.
I’ve chronicled the life of this Kwanzan Cherry tree for the past 4 years here
here are some of the blooms from this year-

WHO TOOK THE DISCOVER GLOUCESTER VISITOR GUIDE COVER PICTURE?!?
Join us later today, 6PM at The Castle Manor Inn, to see who took the cover picture of the 2012 Discover Gloucester Visitor Guide… It’s a beauty!
Drinks and munchies, and great networking- with a sneak peek of the work that’s been done at this lovely Inn, before it opens to the public May 18.
We’re so proud of the Visitor Guide and of all the partners represented in it.
They’ve invested in their businesses and in the bigger tourism picture so that
Discover Gloucester can take on the challenge of promoting the entire destination.
See you at 6 today, The Castle Manor Inn, 141 Essex Avenue!
I’m doing a little clean up around my desk on my last day at work before vacation and I find this bag containing some hair club for men bullshit!
Very funny, verrrry funny. When I find out who is responsible for this just remember that the big boss man has final editorial control over this here blog. You wanna mess with me?
It’s bad enough living with this male pattern baldness without having to be reminded of it with not-so-subtle hints of cheapo “thicker, healthier looking hair” products being left around your workspace.
Oh the humanity.

My friend, Kate, and I visited Gloucester last Saturday, and had the good fortune to walk through Fredrik Bodin’s Historic Photos Shop. Loved the shop! Fred Bodin was so informative about the area, and made sure we knew about your facebook and blog site. Very impressive! We also visited Jeff Weaver’s Art Gallery, Topside Grille for a sandwich, and Fisherman’s Outfitter’s (my brother’s store). We were able to take a quick ride up along the ?East Point along the water before heading back to South Boston. We didn’t get to see a fraction of Gloucester, so we’ll be back. In the meantime, it’s great to have your pages and pictures so we know where to visit when we come back. What a great place! Gayle White including a couple of pics – one is Fredrik Bodin, one is John White (fisherman’s outfitter) and last is one shot along ?East Point. Can’t wait to come back again!
