In the Moment, Five artists capture and create

The Rocky Neck Art Colony presents a new online exhibition, In the Moment, featuring five esteemed New England photographers: Olivia Parker, Tsar Fedorsky, Rebecca Skinner, Paul Cary Goldberg and Dana Salvo. Each of these photographers ask the observer to look closely at just how long a moment can last. It might be a mother and child sharing a conversation in the street or a rock that teeters forever on the beach. Small wonders are revealed in buttons, the bright blue geometry of an industrial wall, and in paint holding the past in its peels—before it flakes away forever. In the Moment unites the viewer, the instant captured and the photographer’s eye.

Proposal?

Good Morning I know it is a longshot but this picture shows what I believe was an engagement taking place. I didn’t realize it until I got home & looked though pictures. Maybe if you post it we can find (hopefully still) happy couple. ♥️ August 3, 2015

Thank you,Linda Gutmans

Dinner at Lobsta Land

We had dinner with my dad at Lobsta Land on Sunday after a long day of baseball.  We chose to sit inside because we had been outside all day long….but, the seating under the tent by the water’s edge looked pretty inviting and I look forward to sitting out there soon.  Four-top tables have been situated along the bar to make use of that space and to allow diners to feel comfortable and adequately distant from other patrons.  A service window allows for restaurant staff to pass food and beverages from the inside to their nice outdoor seating efficiently.

We ordered mussels, coconut shrimp, a lobster dinner, calamari, onion rings, and two Sole Meunieres.  Everything truly was delicious.   And….as if an excellent meal with family wasn’t good enough… we had a chance to chat with Corey Grammas and discover that the one and only Jamie Verga is now working at Lobsta Land.

Beauport Hotel Staycation

We totally indulged to celebrate our anniversary by staying at the beautiful Beauport Hotel for a short staycation. The room faced the harbor for a relaxing and spectacular view. The restaurant was booked ( great news for them on a Monday night I think!) so we ordered room service….a first for us….as I noted, indulgence Dalpiaz style. We’d come in from a long drive and it was the best way to end the day in celebration. Thanks Beauport staff!

About the wines at Seaview Farm

Bringing wine and craft beer to the Seaview Farm Store provides a wonderful opportunity to further enhance the selection of our own grass-fed beef, specialty foods, and other farm products. As owners of Seaview Farm, we worked closely with wine curator Paige Farrell as she carefully selected wines, which would resonate with the space itself — a room in the farmhouse that has been in our family for nearly 200 years.

Paige took a classic approach, setting the wines of France and Italy as the foundation; and then sourcing synonym wines from alternate European countries, as well as from the Finger Lakes in New York State, and the vineyards of California, Oregon and Washington. – Ken and Regina Lane

The selection of wines on offer is just a taste for all that is to come, as the Seaview Farm Store continues to develop as one of Cape Ann’s local culinary treasures. We are delighted that the combination of our farmhouse setting and Paige Farrell’s experience and passion for wines of the world means that our customers will have a selection of wines worthy of this beautiful region.”

Solomon Jacobs Landing

2020-07-26-1352 Stitch

“Solomon Jacobs Landing & Park were named for Captain Solomon Jacobs, who fished in the early 1900s.
A native of Newfoundland, he was known as the “King of the Mackerel Killers” for his ability to land huge catches of mackerel.
Years ago, this area was filled with dozens of sail lofts, warehouses, fish plants and multi-family houses.
Most of those buildings were demolished in the name of “progress” during Urban Renewal projects of the 1960s and 1970s, and replaced with “modern” structures.
The park was created in 1975 as part of that renewal process.
Today, this is one of the best places to watch the ever-changing boat traffic in the harbor.
New Public Landing
In 1999, the City’s Waterways Board established Solomon Jacobs Landing, the first new public landing in decades.
The Landing includes the pier at the end of the Park and new floats and gangways for public access to the water.
Public landings are to provide places where residents and visitors alike can tie up boats for short periods of time while they buy supplies, eat, or otherwise spend time ashore.
This Landing is also the base tor Gloucester’s Harbormaster.
Plans for additional public restrooms, showers and other improvements are under consideration.”  see Historical Market Project
