Maritime Gloucester

Prior to the Pier Fest at Maritime Gloucester, took some photos on the pier.  The sky was beautiful and looked like it was telling a story.

The MARGUERITE visiting Gloucester Harbor

This yacht was in the harbor on Friday.  I decided to look it up.  Very interesting stats.  Follow the link below and see the price.  YIKES…

Amazing new creation

Gloucester’s amazing artist, Kris Francis, has created another beautiful art piece.   He let me know that this horse is made of approximately 98% motorcycle parts some tools and a few horseshoes. This horse weight about 1200 pounds. His work is Incredible!!

Reblogged from Maritime Gloucester

Pier Fest is an unforgettable adults-only evening on the historic pier at Maritime Gloucester — where the sea breeze is fresh, the drinks are flowing, and the vibes are unbeatable.

Not sure I would call this wildlife

This cutie hangs near my truck at the beach.  This little one seems to enjoy hanging out and eating the clover.

Blue umbrellas

Walking Stacy Boulevard on a beautiful summer day, noticed the blue umbrellas at the Beauport Hotel.  Did you also notice the red tent.  So pretty.

 

Love this time of the year

After working, my main concern is taking a swim and relaxing at the beach.  Magnolia Harbor with the pier makes such a pretty view.

A break in the clouds

Magnolia Pier is one of my favorite places to walk.  The flags are waving, and the weather was starting to break.
