Gloucester beaches are glorious regardless of the season. From lighthouse views across the water
to the horizon behind
And from the parking lot
To the gentle waves at the edge of the sand
Every Single World Series Game Has An 8:00PM Start So That Means I’ll Probably Die Trying To Stay Up.

I WANT WHAT YOU HAVE!
What do Great Blue Herons, North America’s largest species of herons, eat? Because they feed in a variety of both freshwater and saltwater habitats, their diet is richly varied. Great Blue Herons dine on small fish, crabs, shrimp, mice, rats, voles, frogs, salamanders, turtles, gophers, snakes, many species of small waterbirds including ducks and ducklings, and insects.
How many Great Blue Herons do you see in the photo above? I thought there was only one in the shot, until returning to my office and had a good look at the scene.

City Hall gleaming floors | DPW steadfast support for Gloucester’s culture
Spectacular City Hall, Gloucester’s cultural landmark and active municipal building, has nearly reached its 150th milestone at 9 Dale Avenue. Rising from the ashes, construction began in 1870 after the Gloucester fire of 1869 consumed its short-lived precursor. Gridley J.F. Bryant & Louis P. Rogers, leading architects at this time, were awarded the commission. Massive disaster response came two years later: the Great Boston Fire wiped out scores of Bryant designed buildings and the firm was awarded a significant percentage of its own rebuilds.
City Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973… which means the research and preparations leading up to that designation timed with its centennial birthday.Recently the expansive floors in Kyrouz Auditorium were buffed and polished and not for the first time. 150 years! Imagine all the footsteps and the generations of staff and volunteers that have cared for this building and community.
Credit DPW for their professionalism and kindness, and steadfast support for the city’s culture. Note their extra caution for protecting heritage from airborne material: mural and portraits were covered.

PSA @ SMOKE DETECTORS

Every fall around Daylight Savings Time (aka when we change our clocks) check your detectors and test them. If more than 10-years old, replace it.
If you have a very old detector like this one, replace it IMMEDIATELY.
(Honestly it’s one of the oldest I’ve ever seen!)

WATCH CAPE ANN’S MONARCH BUTTERFLIES ON BBC AUTUMNWATCH NEW ENGLAND TODAY!
Dear Friends of Beauty on the Wing,
Unlike the UK’s BBC, where Autumnwatch New England aired four consecutive evenings, the series is only running three nights in the U.S., and the Monarch episode is not included in tonight’s PBS version of the show.
The good news though is that the Monarch episode aired last night on the BBC, the final night of the UK series, and you can watch it right now, on youtube!
The series is not yet available on the BBC’s website but it has been posted here [https://youtu.be/RB5FkrvuVzU].
A friend shared an email from her sister last night. Her sister lives in the UK and here is what she wrote about Gloucester-
So exciting!
We were idly watching a programme called Autumn watch which this year has been filmed in New England. It has been based in New Hampshire (Lake Squam). They began to talk about the migration of the monarch butterflies when suddenly they are in Gloucester! We had very good pictures of Gloucester which looked beautiful! Lovely pictures of good harbour beach etc…..
They’ve now gone to Boston and are talking about wild turkeys!
What a programme!
Love M.

Just when I get out of the lobster roll rating game, one so horrendous comes along that it pulls me back in.
Here I am at the dock at 5:57PM after coming in at 2:30AM to offload a trailer load of stinky 55 gallon drums of herring so my lobstermen can have bait to go fishing this week.
Just waiting for the last boat to come in to offload their catch so I can go home, eat dinner with my lovely bride, get some rest and what gets pushed at me?
This challenge via twitter-
I’m tired. I’m cranky. And I’ve been retired from the horrendous lobster roll shaming business for a couple of years now but they couldn’t help themselves could they? They had to come at me. Well if we must…
MAINE EVENT: PAGU MAKES A SUPER FINE LOBSTER PUKE ON A ROLL
Aaaaand where do I begin?
This might take the cake. It really might.
From leaving the spongy tips of the pincer claws in, to the roll that doesn’t have the exposed white part of a New England Style bun to butter and grill, to the seeds that undoubtedly leave you walking out of the restaurant with bits all stuck up in your gums looking like a dope. The typical easy to spot violation- green stuff. In this case avocado. How many times do we have to go over nothing green should ever touch your lobster roll. It’s all either filler (in the case of lettuce or celery) or takes away from the most perfect of all flavors- lobster meat mixed with melted butter or mayo.
What in the hell is so hard to understand?
I think it’s an insecurity thing probably.
They’re not confident enough so they gotta go and throw all this trendy bullshit in to try to create a buzz.
Oooooh! Ahhhh! It’s served on a squid ink roll. Frankly dear I don’t give a damn. Pear and avocado- Ooooh! Ahhhh! Again, don’t care. Don’t distract me from the main event, THE LOBSTER.
Look Jason Pramas the writer in the article here fell for it. I bet he’s a Yankees fan. Probably has pictures of A-Rod on the ceiling over his bed. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Poor guy has his name attached to this atrocity.
He’s going to have to live with it but that doesn’t mean we have to.
We all know how it’s done right and this puke on a roll ain’t it.
Sorry kids this is a big fat- FAIL.
I’m sure they are really nice well intentioned people but please get that shit outta here-
Here are some of the other hall of fame horrendous lobster roll inductees-
THEY CAME, THEY CLAWED, THEY FRICKED IT UP!
