We have moved to mid-coast Maine.  Here is a reprise of my personal favorite of the 1,714 “Moments” that I’ve posted since September 2020.  The unique light and rugged landscape of Cape Ann are magical, and it has been great fun to capture and share these images daily.  Thank you, Joey, for giving me this opportunity.  (Would an occasional “Maine Moments” be okay?)

We’ll be open Saturday & Sunday 8:00 am – 11:00 am or sellout at 1 Whistlestop Mall in Rockport.

We are not the only ones anxiously awaiting summer weather and fun….the schooners are as well. I had the pleasure of catching the Ernestina-Morrissey at the Maritime Gloucester dock last week. (**Thanks for the heads up Carol**) She’s a sight for sore eyes.

It’s dirty from rolling around in the back of my truck each night but still 💯 intact. I bought a cheap Chinese made flag off Amazon for our boat last year and at the end of the season it was completely tattered

Salted Cod Gallery is pleased to present Coco Berkman’s striking linoleum prints on view as guest artist throughout the month of June. A celebrated printmaker with a distinct voice and a deep commitment to process, Berkman brings a rich collection of works that transform everyday struggles into profound visual statements. Each piece begins as a much-revised drawing—drawn, redrawn, torn, taped, and refined until it feels true. That drawing is then transferred to a linoleum block, carved with fine tools, and finished with layers of ink and color.

Salted Cod Gallery invites the public to experience Coco Berkman’s work throughout June, each one the culmination of careful, intuitive labor.

Salted Cod Art House features Rocky Neck Art Colony juried members.  Be sure to stop by, as each day, one of the 24 artists are there to meet and greet.

June Guest Artist: Coco Berkman

Dates: June 1 – June 30

Location: Salted Cod Gallery, Gloucester, MA

53 Rocky Neck Avenue • Gloucester, MA 01930

Open Wed-Fri, 3pm-10pm; Sat & Sun, 11:30am-10pm

Finally, the weather was nice enough to allow us a nice day to take our first whale watch of the season with Cape Ann Whale Watch on Main St. The experience is always great starting with plenty of free parking, picking up boarding passes and historical/nature tidbits offered throughout by staff. I had hoped to see feeding behaviors and boy, did that dream come true in a BIG way. We saw humpbacks Sundown, Aerospace, Pox, Music and Iron but Sundown stole the show. Sundown has a distinct pattern of kickfeeding which scientist Tina clearly explained to all of us. Most of these photos are of Sundown and his bird companions hoping to steal a bit. Sundown spent time pretty close to the boat and Capt John did a great job keeping an appropriate distance but whales are unpredictable and we were graced with several viewing opportunities fairly close by. We appreciated the invitation to the wheelhouse to view the activity from that vantage point. If you haven’t been lately, you really should go out there and experience these wonders right off our own coast. Thank you Capt Jim D; Capt John C; Tina, Sara, Michael and Joth. Outstanding. This trip will live in my top 3 ever whale adventures which include Alaska AND Cape Ann Whale Watch! Additional story details and photos at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook. Check it out! It was challenging to select just these few from the 1600+ images taken so check out the others.
