Hi Joey,

Thanks,

Here’s an interesting photograph of the moon shadowing a wild cherry tree on the snow from last night’s storm – Eastern Point lighthouse in the background.

Hi Joey,

A number of swans gathered on Beck Pond in Hamilton over the past week.  When I first saw them, there were ten and then over the next few days, there were thirteen – six adults and seven youngsters, it appeared.  On Tuesday morning, I noticed several of them getting out of the water and up onto the ice.  When I checked back a short while later, they were all gone.  A friend who is an avid birder, told me that over the week, they had been flocking together into a community that would then migrate together.  Had I continued to watch as they got up onto the ice, I would have seen them get into the classic “V” formation and then take off!  I missed that sight, but very much enjoyed the beauty and grace of the birds during the week.  I thought that I would share one of the photos that I took of them!

Gloucester Housewives Christmas Party Photos

Posted on by Sista Felicia

PrintLast night the Gloucester Housewives, Lillian LoGrasso, Sabrina Alves Giordano , Nina Randazzo, Christine Guarrasi DaSilva, Cinsia Ciolino, and Josie Ferrara Martell hosted their annual Christmas Party at Cruisport Gloucester.

Early yesterday, Lillian LoGrasso made a public announcement that the weather forecast for the evening was predicted to be “100% chance of fun with a few scattered crazies!!!” She could not have been more correct!  The snow did not stop this party from happening. Party goers arrived at Cruisport dressed in their very best holiday attire sporting snow boats and clutching their dancing shoes!  The festive vibe in the ballroom was contagious with a packed dance floor all evening. This morning I woke thinking of all the times my parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents would pack the Amery on Prospect street each New Years Eve, for this type of fun. I am so thankful that the Gloucester housewives brought this tradition back to our beautiful community.  Photos courtesy of the Housewives-

Flock Rock

Hi Joey,

We had a flock of seagulls (not the ‘80s band) visit the cove to take shelter from the East wind on this rock last week.

Enjoy!

Azorean Tradition – Linguiça Making in Gloucester since 1898

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

Steve and Jerry Burke carry on the tradition of making Azorean Linguiça in their family’s 1898 Linguiça Smoke house. The recipe they use is from their great grandmother who came to this country from Lajes do Pico Azores. The Azorean Linguiça smoke house may be the oldest operating in the country.  Watch Video below:

A Different View of Cape Ann Tool

Posted on by Lowell Peabody

From some shots I took last summer I have been putting this together. A montage of sorts. As you look at it, there appears more than just rusty relics of buildings, but also Pigeon Cove and the granite breakwater. Thought I’d share this different view.
