Big Waves and Little Birds

Posted on by Pat D

Wave action along the back shore drew me nearer to the shoreline to take some pictures. These sweet little birds drew me to remain longer than I would have otherwise. About a half dozen of these were flitting back and forth taking advantage of the treats left behind by the waves.

We will be livestreaming The GloucesterCast Podcast Tomorrow Sunday at 9:00AM

Southwest Interlude — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

We are just back from a week in the Southwest, with family in the small town of Ridgway, Colorado, and a side trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. My sister and family moved west in the 1970s and became successful ranchers, as well as advocates for local culture and preservation. I post these photographs here, because I see connections with our values on Cape Ann.

Gloucester has “Zeke’s Place” for breakfast (today), in the historic Bulfinch Bldg.
Ridgway has “Kate’s Place” for breakfast, behind a western storefront
My sister’s Double-D ranch with mountains and cattle rather than ocean and fishing boats
My 1974 photo of Ridgway, used as a movie set for “True Grit” with John Wayne, before our “The Perfect Storm”
My sister built new in 1985, including The True Grit Cafe at the right
It’s great to see “The Grit” is still enjoyed by locals
The bartender showed us photos on her cell phone of mountain lions she saw the previous evening
We have deer. Telluride (ski town near Ridgway) has elk
Like Cape Ann, artists cherish the quality of light and early fall foliage, here on Red Mtn Pass, toward Santa Fe
Santa Fe is full of galleries, here Rebecca Tobey’s mountain lion at Ventana
I got the better of this elk (tenderloin) at the elegant Geronimo Restaurant on Canyon Road

Are these two different types of herons or is one a male and teh other a female?

Self-admittedly I have very little bird knowledge. These two were right next to each other at the dock.

North Shore Packathon for Haiti On October 21, 22 and 23

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

On October 21, 22 and 23, volunteers from across the North Shore will gather to pack 100,000 lunches for schoolchildren in the remote mountain village of St. Louis d’Ayiti, Haiti. Volunteers will gather for six two-hour shifts at Christ Church (Episcopal) of Hamilton and Wenham, 149 Asbury St., Hamilton. Given the continuing Covid problem, we will offer participants both indoor and outdoor packing stations.

Participants will be trained to work assembly lines to pack vitamin-fortified meals of rice, beans and dehydrated vegetables. They will experience the satisfactionof hands-on work to help others, and will come away from the experience with a better understanding of profound, “no-safety-net” poverty, and the importance of education in building a more resilient future for Haiti.

All ages (5–105) and abilities are welcome to participate. To sign up for a packing session (and/or to donate to help defray the cost of the 100,000 meals), go to northshorepackathon.org

Satur-Sail-Day Aboard the Thomas E. Lannon

Posted on by Pat D

We took family visitors aboard the Thomas E. Lannon Schooner for a sail last Saturday. Even though the skies were a little cloudy and grey, it was another wonderful experience with Capt Heath Ellis and the crew. There was a small incident with an inexperienced boat crew at the dock as we were returning, but the crew handled it professionally and calmly so we felt very safe. The season will be coming to a close very soon (mid October) and we still have some great weather days coming up so give some consideration to a sail! Kids (to age 16) free with paying adult on Saturdays! Tickets and information here.
