Took a couple of photos when I had to do a work errand. This photo was taken 2.5 before high tide on Stacy Boulevard.

Jane Deering Gallery is continuing with virtual exhibitions
During the coronavirus pandemic, Jane Deering Gallery is continuing with virtual exhibitions. Our second virtual show opening April 13 is VANESSA MICHALAK | Green Space. All works can be viewed online at https://janedeeringgallery.com/exhibitions-jdg-gloucester-ma/vanessa-michalak-green-space/1. Green Space is derived from Michalak’s plein-air art show which was held in the woods of Gloucester’s Historic Dogtown on the 26th of October 2019. The paintings from that open-air show are now included in our virtual exhibition.
Vanessa Michalak earned an MFA (2013) from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with a concentration in painting; and a BSN in nursing from the University of Maine in 2004. She was awarded the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in Painting in 2014 and her work was included in the publication New American Paintings #110. Her work has been included in the MFA National Competition, Juried by Asya Geisberg; First Street Gallery, New York, NY.

Matz Gallery cancels “Where Is It?”
As the pandemic has grown and more restrictions are put in place, we have become concerned about how the pandemic will affect this year’s Matz Gallery schedule including “Where Is It?” which is coming up in June. We have concluded that given all the confusion and insecurity about what will and what will not be open in the months ahead, it is better to cancel this year’s photo show. This is very disappointing because “Where Is It?” has been one of our most popular exhibitions since 2005. Every year this unique exhibit features photographs that showcase interesting and out of the way places in Gloucester, and we will miss it.
If you have submitted images for us to consider, we will keep your application materials for the 2021 “Where Is It?” Stay well in these strange and difficult times.

Mill River Winery
I’ve enjoyed Mill River Winery in the past, for tastings, some live music, and definitely for shopping, but right now most of that is impossible. It was such a nice treat to be able to take a nice drive to Rowley and order from their safe and convenient take out window this past weekend. And, do you know what, they’ll even deliver their wines to many locations.

Barns Along the Byway
I’m starting to feel a real need for just a tiny bit of “normalcy” in my day, so I thought it might help to fall back on one of my running series here on the blog today. But, as I look at these barns near Farnhams, I realized I was looking through “COVID eyes” because I saw separated, socially isolated barns apparently on the same property, looking a little bit lonesome but functional. Like me. And maybe GMG Jimmy. Hang in there everybody!

I’m wondering about different toppings to dress it up. I’m really new to the bread making game. Should I put butter on top to make it different?

TED REED PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES PREMIERE OF DOCUMENTARY FILM, “JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL REVISITED” AS A SPECIAL ONLINE EVENT, APRIL 18, 2020
DOCUMENTARIAN REED, JOINS FORCES WITH THE ORGANIZERS OF THE JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL TO PREMIERE HIS FILM, WHICH FEATURES EXCLUSIVELY SELECTED ARTIST PERFORMANCES AND TRADITIONS FROM THE JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL OF 2019 FOR THE NOW CANCELLED 2020 JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL.
BOSTON, MA and CLARKSDALE, MS, April 10, 2020 – When Grammy- and Emmy-award winning documentary filmmaker Ted Reed learned that the JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL scheduled for April 17, 2020 was cancelled due to the global health crisis, he immediately leapt into action pushing back the release of his original documentary “THE BLUES TRAIL REVISITED” and instead worked to create a new film celebrating the performers and performances of the festival of 2019. “JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL REVISITED”, a 60 minute film, created for digital release on Saturday, April 18th, features exclusive performances with some of the world’s blues legends, old and new. This film celebrates the worldwide impact the Juke Joint Festival has on blues tourism, blues culture, and the unwavering passion and dedication to keeping the blues alive for generations to come.
Last April, Reed, a self-proclaimed blues fanatic, filmed extensive footage for his soon to be released documentary, “THE BLUES TRAIL REVISITED”, during the annual Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, MS. While editing this film, Reed realized he had a treasure trove of live performance footage. His decision to create a new film based on this exclusive performance footage came from a desire to help blues musicians and fans through this challenging time.
Led by Roger Stolle, Nan Hughes and their amazing team, The Juke Joint Festival draws in thousands of blues fans from all over the world for a weekend full of live musical performances. With this year’s 18th annual festival cancelled, they wanted to create an online experience and felt Reed’s documentary, JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL REVISITED, would be a great opportunity to relive last year’s event and provide a finale to a day of live-streamed blues performances during April 18th’s just announced VIRTUAL JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL CELEBRATION.
Reed and Stolle’s ultimate goal is to help drive donations to the Blues Foundation COVID-19 fund (https://j.mp/2wupAYe), and the Mississippi Blues Benevolent Fund (http://www.msbluestrail.org//mississippi-blues-trail-donations).

WONDERFULLY RARE FOOTAGE – SNOWY OWL TAKES A BATH
Hello Friends on this rainy, windy day. People’s holiday weekend ran the gamut from joyful to tragic and I so hope yours was not too difficult and you were able to find some light. It was such a beautiful day weather-wise yesterday and if there is one thing about the coronavirus is how wonderful it is to see so many families enjoying each other’s company while out in the fresh air.
Part four, Snowy Owl Takes a Bath, was filmed early one morning. I stopped by to check on Snowy Owl (her nickname at the time was Hedwig) and noticed her face was stained red from breakfast. I only planned to take a few snapshots when she hopped over to a rocky tide pool and began to wash her face. I ran back to the car to grab my movie camera and am so glad I did! For the next 40 – 45 minutes she bathed, preened, and fluffed.I am calling this rare footage because I can’t find anything else like it. Unlike most owls, which are nocturnal (active at night) Snowy Owls are active during the day (diurnal), providing a rare glimpse into the world of owls in the wild.
To see all four episodes together, please go to the Snowy Owl Film Project page on my website. These shorts were created for the kids in the Cape Ann community during this at-home schooling time. The last segment, part five, Snowy Owl Returns to the Arctic, is almost completed and will be posted later this week.
Thank you for watching!
Again, thank you to Scott Weidensaul from ProjectSNOWstorm for script advice.
A Snowy Owl Comes to Cape Ann
Part Four: Snowy Owl Takes a Bath
After a snow squall and as the sun was beginning to appear, a Snowy Owl came out to take a bath. She found a watery icy pool tucked out of sight from dive bombing crows and gulls.
Snowy Owls, like most non-aquatic birds, take baths to clean their feathers.
First washing her face, she tip-dipped and then dunked. After bathing, Snowy fluff dried her feathers, pooped, and preened. During preening, oil from the preen gland, which is located at the base of the tail, is distributed through the feathers to help maintain waterproofing.
Washing, fluffing, and preening took about forty-five minutes from head to talon.

With a different type of Easter with no family visiting for Easter, we did some yard work and then walked to the beach. Other walkers were very considerate and no congregating. Most walkers were wearing masks and I find people are polite. Stay safe and stay healthy.
