A walk out to Rafe’s Chasm

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Thursday took a walk out to Rafe’s Chasm before the sunset.  So pretty out there, as soon as it gets dark, the deer and fox start their nighttime routines.

Fall Back this weekend

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

We push our clocks back at 2 am Sunday, so it will be dark earlier.  But on the positive side, remember the sunsets are earlier and with the cooler air, the colors of sunset seems to be more brilliant.

For more information please see the link below.

I AM MORE at Addison Gilbert

I Am More: Addison Gilbert Hospital

~ amykerrdrawsportraits

When I initially approached AGH about a display, they said their gallery wall was booked two years in advance if I wanted to wait. When I explained the timely circumstances of the portrait series they agreed that it was important to find the space. So find space they did:

This is, I think, the most high traffic display site we’ve had so far, servicing all of Cape Ann for Emergency care, Primary care, Physical Therapy, Behavioral Health, Radiology, Center for Healthy Aging, DISCOVER Substance Abuse and the Gorton Cancer Care Center.

 A visitor passing by said the stories give her hope, so thank you.
