Midas Touch…

I love going down to the Little River Stubby Knowles landing any time of the year. The water, the sky, the birds all present differently at various times of the year. In this case, it had been frigid though the sky was magnificently blue. It makes a great contrast. I also noticed for the first time a Little Library down there. And of course, I imagine many already know there’s kayak storage available there as well.

Mattress Sale…

It was a cold night but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming at Machaca on Rogers St. We ordered our dinners: chicken fajitas and Al Pastor while we munched the (seriously addictive) chips and salsa. I topped the dinner off with a Mexican Coffee (when in Rome…) which I enjoyed as an extra barrier against the cold outside. It’s a popular spot for families, couples and friends to gather as evidenced by the other customers. Food yummy with perfect portions; drinks cold, service friendly. Win Win.

Remembering Cameron Beavers

Friday, 2/21/25, marks 3 years since Cam passed away.  We still miss him every day. He remains the best of us, remembered for all he brought to our lives.  We were truly blessed!Cam loved Gloucester, & some of my favorite memories are the times we spent sitting near the Fisherman’s statue looking out to sea. That was his happy place. How lucky were we to have had him in our lives, & to have shared all the special times we did in Gloucester – from whale watches to Sugar Mags to Wingaersheek to the Blvd & more.

We love you, Cam!

Twister…

It seems our eagles in West Gloucester are doing what northeast eagle pairs are doing these days: preparing to nest. I watched this eagle carefully observe its surroundings then take off across the water to grab nesting material and then flew back toward the nest. As it is often the males who bring the material into the next for the females to accept and re-arrange, I will assume this is the male of the pair. I was very happy to see this promising activity from our eagle friends.

High Fields…

44 Main St. #LFG

We happened upon these two hawks recently in the Mussel Point area. I suspect they are a bonded pair because as one was devouring prey, the other seemed to keep watch as opposed to attempting to take it away. Just theory, of course but it’s a little unusual in my experience to have two hawks in such close proximity as one feasts and the other is on alert. It was an interesting story developing but we couldn’t stay to watch it unfold to its completion. Nature provides the most interesting tales.
