Good Morning Gloucester

As I have mentioned several times, we have lots of wildlife right in our backyard and we watch all sorts of critters throughout the days and seasons. Recently, we were treated to a short deer story develop in the marsh. These two appeared in the late afternoon sun out in the marsh acting a little bit like strangers cautiously checking one another out. The smaller one approached the bigger one and got a hoof-cuff for its trouble. I understand this is one way white tailed deer express dominance. Looked to me like it worked………

We’re eating chicken by the firepit and this catbird is all up in our space chowing down on bits of chicken we’re tossing it.

Our weekend included a peaceful and excellent dinner out with friends on the deck of Oliver’s Harbor Restaurant, and a first sail of the season. And then there’s the local wildlife that continues to flourish.

It’s the first time this beach season I’ve been here during the day. It is beautiful with so few visitors at a time.

It’s Flag Day. Fly ‘em if you’ve got ‘em.

There are some very pretty spots along the byway in and near Essex including Cox Reservation and Main Street.
