The internationally acclaimed a cappella choir Skylark will perform a program called ‘Masterpiece’ at 7:00pm with a 6:00pm pre-concert talk on Friday, April 5th in the historic (1806) Gloucester Meetinghouse at the corner of Middle and Church Streets.  A reception to celebrate the performers follows the concert.

Over the centuries, art has inspired music, and music has inspired art. In this innovative multi-faceted program, Skylark will offer musical reflections and reactions to the visual arts from the ancient to the modern.

OWL OVERHEAD!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

My sister-in-law Amy and her husband Arnold were visiting over the weekend. Arnold shared a photo from a recent trip that they took to Dunrobin Castle, which is just north of the villages of Golspie and Dornoch in the Northern Highlands. While at the castle they went to a falconry exhibition where Arnold captured a photo of the owl flying over the audience’s heads. I’m wondering if this is perhaps the Eurasian Eagle Owl.

What a wonderful time I had yesterday at the Grand Opening of Mermaid Tales.  Lourie the owner and her staff was so fun and attentive.  Lourie actually gave me a little gift bag.  This shop is next to Walgreens, it used to be Sadie Greens.  Her inventory is fun and you can find great gifts for others and yourself.
