A few days before the storm, the beach was deserted and only a couple of boats still in the water.

Surprising sunset
After a rainy day on Wednesday, I was in my office and looked out the window and there it was, red sky. Hurried down to the Magnolia Pier to catch the sunset. Grateful.

This guy has been working very hard
Found out this information from the internet:
Just like your body uses proteins to build your hair, nails, muscles, skin and bones, spiders use proteins to produce different types of spider silk. This web silk is produced internally in liquid form and becomes solid as it leaves the spider’s body via a spider’s spinnerets.

Rafe’s Chasm
Since we live in Magnolia Village of Gloucester, walking to Rafe’s Chasm is another blessing. The woods open up to a beautiful ocean view.

Rafe’s Chasm, ~10 Ac.
Permanently protected by the City of Gloucester.
Trail Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Length:
Rafe’s Chasm Park was sold by the Trustees of Reservation in 1959 to the City of Gloucester for one dollar.
This 10 acre park runs from Hesperus Avenue to the rock along the shoreline, with views of Norman’s Woe rock to the northeast and Kettle Island to the southwest.
Rafe’s Chasm is located on private land about fifty yards outside of Rafe’s Chasm Park. PLEASE OBSERVE ALL “PRIVATE PROPERTY” POSTINGS.
Originally identified as Rafe’s Crack, this large rock fissure was finally noted as Rafe’s Chasm on maps beginning in the 1850s.
It is said that the name comes from a freed slave named Ralph who settled near the Chasm and built many of the rock walls that remain along HesperusAvenue.
Visiting the chasm became a popular tourist attraction after the Civil War.

Sunset at Magnolia Pier
Walking at sunset is one of my favorite things to do, especially in fall. Shore Road has many people strolling with their dogs and kids, enjoying the fall weather.

Is it September 28th or July 28th
On Sunday went over to Wingaersheek Beach for a walk. Of course I had my bathing suit on just in case. It was crowded with beach chairs, umbrellas and swimmers, including myself. The weather was amazing and the water was warm.
Glorious

Safety Day 2025
Fun and more fun at Safety Day on Saturday. Harbor Loop was full of people enjoying themselves. The first responders who were there, talked and explained the different examples of safety. One the favorites was Spot the bomb denotator. The kids loved it. The horses, K-9 dogs and helicopter were great. Thank you all who participated.
