Since it has been raining for a couple of days, decided to put up beach and sun pictures. Kids swimming, playing in the sand and a little bunny with a Red Tailed Blackbird enjoying a beautiful day.

Went to the Bart Stuyf studio, www.bartswork.com, on Mussel Point.  Beautiful location and great sculptors, some with candles, water falls and stand alones.  Even though it was hazy the views are terrific from there.

A wonderful Film by Kim Smith

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Friday evening we enjoyed an amazing film on the Black Swallow Tail Butterfly at the Cape Ann Cinema on Main Street and then over to a fun reception at Bodin Historic Photo Shop. This film is great for all ages and I know my grand children would love it as well as adults. Thank you Kim Smith for your work, Pat Ciaramitaro, Sista Felicia for the yummy food, Craig Kimberley and Fred for hosting this event. Great time.
