Snazzy access breaks along Thatcher Road guard rail replacement | Gloucester DPW road work progressing

Construction along Thatcher road and its new marsh walkway to Good Harbor Beach continues. The guard rail replacement is underway with a wood element coming soon. The access breaks caught my eye.

Turn! Turn! Turn!

This tree at Stage Fort Park brought the Pete Seeger song to mind.  “To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose under heaven”

The changing state of the leaves on this tree also symbolizes how I feel about the changing season. Part of me is ready for fall….that part of the tree reaching to the sky and sun. Another part of me (the nice green leaves) wouldn’t mind a few more summer-like days.

Mary Rhinelander solo art show at Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck through October 14th

Mary Rhinelander’s resonant show, Collective (un) Conscious, at Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck continues through October 14, 2018. The exhibition, a power packed installation of 12 x 12 mixed media panels, is as much about visual engagement and observation for the viewer as it’s chronicling an individual, accumulated and reflective life. There are plenty of unexpected juxtapostions, dark narratives, quirk and humor. Rhinelander has a sharp eye.
