Barnacle Bouquet

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

In case you didn’t read the comments in the last Barnacle Bouquet post GMG’s Paul Morrison gave us a little biology lesson-

Fun things I learned back in Coastal Ecology at UMass Amherst in 1977. Barnacles have the longest penis as measured by ratio of the size of the animal. Since they can’t move this likely comes in handy. “Howdy neighbor!”

They are also hermaphrodites but I had to look that up. The member size I did remember.

Beautiful Industry- Barnacle Bouquet On Lobster Traps

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

They might look pretty in this picture but they are like clusters of tiny razor blades.  You need to be very careful when handling lobster traps that are covered with barnacles.

Ceramic Fish At Bodin Historic Photo On Main Street

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Yesterday I got in to see Fred Bodin at Bodin Historic Photo on Main Street In Beautiful Downtown Gloucester.  Fred has all types of fish native to our waters cast in ceramic.  They are very accurate and representative of teh types of the fish right down to the shading and coloring.  This catfish is spot on.  I have a couple of videos from inside Fred’s studio coming up later in the day.
