Recently, I went on another owl tour with a nearby owl expert in search of screech, barred and snowy owls. While we were somewhat successful as you see here, it was disheartening to learn that several of the screech owls we previously located had since died. The manner of death ran from Mother Nature (larger predators) to human intervention (rodenticide). But there always seems to be treasures to find such as these. As an added note, it’s been reported that the snowy I posted several days ago has also since been killed by an automobile. That one hurts especially as it was so beautiful. But **I will repeat what I have previously stated for anyone concerned about the owl’s well being: I have a nice long lens and I zoom with my lens and not my feet in order to respect the wildlife. Some of these images are cropped.





In the shop today and tomorrow (Friday and Saturday Nov 8/9) 44 Main St from 11-5. Sunday and Veterans Day Monday 11-3. In partnership with https://www.instagram.com/patdsphotos/ Pat D’s Photos!

There are plenty of knit caps out there. There aren’t many that have the fleece lining which is a total game changer. The fleece is so soft and keeps you so warm. Once you try one of these on, it renders all other fall/winter caps inferior. Buy three at once I’ll put in a free one for you. Mix and match. These are perfect for you, your family and for gifts.
Available at 44 Main St or at these links-
Available in Cream, Tan, Red, Grey, Black and Pink for women Pom Beanies.







Available in Grey, Black, Heather Grey, Navy, Brown and Gloucester Maroon










Turkey Coma…

Pat D’s Photos and many, many other fine local vendors will be at Cruiseport Sun Dec 1 from 10-4. Hope to see you there! Have a great day with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving! It’s a short ride until Christmas.













Thanks Richard!

Past Years-

This was back in 2011 when these Bhuddist monks would come to Gloucester to buy 500 lobsters and release them back to the ocean symbolic for good karma.
This is the post from 2011:
To make clear the following is only satire and I’ll take responsibility for people not from Gloucester or the the waterfront misunderstanding.
I was wrong to assume that because I predominantly write our hyperlocal blog for our Cape Ann residents that people would understand how preposterous the notion that you could have time to move all the lobster gear even if they knew where the lobsters were released and to set it and for those lobsters which were probably miles away from that location would ever get caught.
What I am happy for is that the releasing of the lobster story which would have been a simple story largely forgotten by now has gotten huge legs and all the positives of Buddhism are highlighted. For that I am grateful.
Receiving the coordinates of where the lobsters were released by Buddhist monks, the boys went out yesterday and hauled the lobster traps they set all over that ocean bottom and caught exactly 534 lobsters, the precise number the monks released.
