On Saturday, we went to over to Appleton Farms, Ipswich.  Appleton Farms has a great farm store and lots of walking trails.  The farms is getting ready for fresh veggies.  The cows and goats were out and there is always something to do.

Sculptures from Horseshoes and Repurposed Metal

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Gloucester’s talented artist, Kris Francis has a couple of new amazing sculptures.  Kris’s work always amazes me, but these Giraffes actually made me emotional.

Kris told me that he has been working on the Giraffes since February.  Kris also stated it took 2,000 horseshoes to make these beautiful sculptures.  Kris is truly a talented artist.

You can contact Kris through Instagram:  JFKmetal

Since we had no power on Friday morning decided to go out and take some photos.  After the rain and wind from Thursday’s Nor’easter, mother nature is in charge.  These photos were taken a couple of hours after high tide.
