From Deb Clarke;

hey there!
  i went to the Cape Ann Historical Museum on saturday afternoon to find that my paintings are not currently on exhibit.  Peter Vincent’s paintings greet you at the entrance to the Maritime Collection.  and in the upstairs hall, the bright wonderful world of Clara Wainwright.  There is a quilt of the world that is in progress.  the instructions say:  pick up a needle and make a stitch.  i will go back to do so, and i want to look at some etchings that caught my attention, as well as, the new aquisitions (2 bernard chaet seascapes are worth another look).

Yes I know that by the book this isn’t a very clean picture but I just like it’s grittiness.

Beautiful Beat Up Old Shell Slide Show

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Click the Picture For The Slide Show

This shell was sitting along the side of the building right next to the ladder where Pete Mondello ties up his boat.  I must have walked past it a hundred times.  But this particular time I took that extra second to stop and appreciate it’s beauty.  There is beauty all around us and all it takes is for us to slow down just a little bit and recognize how lucky we are to have all this natural charm surrounding us.  So much so that we practically trip over it every single day.

Sharon stopped down the dock last weekend and while I was busy and wished I had more time to talk to her, there were boats coming and going.  During the little time we had to talk though she told me that she was having a hard time because she’s been extremely busy and hasn’t been able to come up with ideas for her daily posts.  I understand how people’s lives get busy and sometimes we get so focused on what we have to do in our daily lives just to get through that we only focus on the mundane tasks of chores and errands and work.  But in there I’m telling you there is beauty.  A shell on the walkway- a flower in bloom- a boat heading out to sea- a community event- a fantastic meal-a child’s smile-a baseball being struck-it’s everywhere.

I hear it from our other contributors too, that they have a difficult time coming up with ideas for content for the blog.  I must be gifted because as long as I’m in town, coming up with content for the blog is never a problem for me.  It just comes natural.  It’s as easy as walking out the door with my camera, slowing down just a tiny bit and opening my eyes.  Boom- there’s a post.

Lobster Eye View – Inside A Lobster Trap Up Close And Personal

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

See the plastic tags along the top of the trap?  Those are trap tags.  They are issued by the government each year and it is a way to enforce the trap limit each lobsterman can fish.  Each year each lobsterman gets their allotment of trap tags and every trap must have one in it.  If the enforcement agent pulls up a lobsterman’s gear and it doesn’t have a trap tag it can result in a fine.

Rainbow Leading To Lobster Traps At The Dock

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Let’s hope the lobsters are led to these traps in much the same way once lobster season gets under way and these traps hit the water.
