Updated Freaks Of The Lobster And Crab World Slide Show

There are controls to pause the pictures of go directly to the album by clicking on the slide show.

This is an updated version of the old “Freaks Of The Lobster and Crab World Slide Show”.  I doubt anyone else  has a collection of pictures that they’ve taken first hand of this many mutations.

We get about 2-3 of these mutated lobsters per year.  Earlier this year we got a couple with deep blue pigmentation.  This one was white.

Gloucester Lobster Trap Tree 2008

David Brooks from Art Haven tells me that over 150 kids got to paint a buoy for the tree.  How’s that for community spirit? Click this text to see the scene Lia captured when Santa showed up aboard  a fire truck to light the tree.
