My View of Life on the Dock
I think one of the reasons I’m always the one behind the camera is because I just hate having my picture taken but after reading this I’m going to make sure I get in front of it more often! Are you guilty too? Then check out this article!
So you’re feeling too fat to be photographed
Our adventure to the north was cancelled for the weekend so I’m sHaring a few views from the Rockland/Camden Maine area while we see what local mischief we can get into on this drizzly day! 
My friend Helen drags me to the most unlikeliest places to photograph. Last night we went to the Beverly-Salem Bridge for sunset and blue hour and you would think to yourself “meh” not a great scene to shoot. BUT…it turned out to be a great place to photograph! Lots of color and clouds, the kids in boats fishing on a summer night, the train going by AND we were treated by the moon rising on the other side (and me without my big girl lens!). After all was said and done it was another relaxing night of photography, a beautiful summer night for being outside and another perfect night with my friend Helen!
As I prepare to head up to Maine this week, here’s a few shots from the little town of Port Clyde, Maine where I made a pit stop during my travels last month. Love these little harbors. The sculpture of clam diggers brings back memories of my great-grandfather Weymouth Roberts and Uncle Stan Roberts who used to clam for a living and my great grandmother who used to sit at the table and shuck clams for hours. Hope you all are finding your little escapes this summer!
Cool night out at Plum Cove watching the storm clouds roll by. Went down for sunset but it was fun watching the clouds change.
Why is it short weeks feel longer than full work weeks? Enjoy a restful weekend!
Nothing like summer nights on Cape Ann. Enjoying every one!
This is great time lapse video from Babak A. Trafeshi of our fireworks!
While we all enjoy the parade, cookouts and fireworks, let’s reflect a bit about one of the best known sentences in the English language from from the Declaration of Independence…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Be safe and enjoy!!
I’ll be at the beach enjoying day 2 of this beautiful long weekend!
Starting this long weekend with my feet in the sand. Love this place we call home!
Anyone want to guess how my morning started? Technically it started last night with a desperate text from my daughter who lives in Reading so there’s 1 hint. The photo below is hint #2. 😀
If only I had an extra 5 mil hanging around….I’d be all over this! If you want to dream a little too check out the listing at Coldwell Banker’s site while I head out to play the lottery 😀
A little sunset therapy last night over at Annisquam which I have lovingly dubbed “Anni-squash-a-gnat” lol! Playing with my fisheye lens.
Here’s my final batch of pics from Sunday’s parade and races for you to enjoy and share. Until next year! VIVA San Pietro!! (See galleries below)
PARADE
SEINE BOATS
GREASY POLE
Looking through my lens on my comfy, lazy spot on the beach…Nichole was in the thick of it, on the front lines of the greasy pole getting those great views!
Here’s a “handful” of the gazillion pics I took from Friday and Saturday’s races. I have broken them down into Greasypole and Seineboats. I will post Sundays tomorrow. Check out the full gallery below. Enjoy!
Greasypole
SEINE BOATS
Jake Wagner took the flag on the 3rd round tonight. Congrats Jake!
In case you haven’t heard it was deja-vu on the greasy pole tonight with Randy Sweet winning 2 nights in a row. I think those red, white and blue briefs are good luck lol! Here’s my view from down on the beach. VIVA!
Congratulations to Friday’s Women’s Seine Boat Senior Champs “Rowgue” and Junior Champs “Up Roar”.
Good Morning Gloucester
