Once again the community pulled together to support a great cause.

Home with the windows open listening to the birds chirping and watching people walking to the beach. So I decide to go for a ride and see what going on in Gloucester on this early spring day. At Stage Fort Park, I found kites in the air, the GHS Baseball team getting ready for their 2010 season, back to the car and over to Fuller school and the GHS Girls Lacrosse team is preparing for their season with a new coach fresh off the college fields, Coach Barker bring new enthusiasm to the field.
Back to the car again, off to GHS and I find the Boys Lacrosse team starting there season with a good practice and Coach Dominick taking the boys thru the paces. Time to head home and over at the Little League field are a few who cant wait for the season to begin. What a great day in Gloucester!

The 2009/2010 GHS Girls Basketball celebrated the success of their season with a year end banquet at Cruiseport Tuesday night.

It started with an email to Joey, which he forwarded to me asking to go over to Iron Rail and cover the GHS Gymnastics. So I packed up my bag of camera goodies and went over to shoot a few photos. A whole bunch of photos later the 2010 season came to and end. The story would be long, so here is the short of it:
Seven young ladies with heart and determination and the same goal, win the states. Oh, all of the other team had at least twice as many competitors, All of the TigerFish girls are honor roll or higher! they cheer on the teams they compete against ??? They finish third in the sectionals and qualify for the states for the for the very first time! They finished 7th in the states. Congratulations 2010 TIGERFISH, Liana Jaeger, Kelly Benson, Leah Carlson, Mary Krathwohl, Kiely Aiello, Kate Pardo, Meg Bresnahan
Good luck to Liana as she is a senior this year and plans on attending college in September, congratulations on being selected as a Boston Globe All Star.
Thank you for putting up with me and my camera, Good Luck in 2011!



Walking through Halibut point yesterday enjoying the great weather and some good conversation with David Cox, as we were searching for Mother nature to show us a sign or two that spring is on the way, a kite from above appeared and was dancing with the winds of the sea. That is enough for me to know Spring is right around the corner.
