Hood (and Roof) Ornaments

Posted on by Nichole S.

I saw this car with these super cute hood/roof ornaments at the lights on the 128 extension today.  Does the driver make these?  Anyone know?  Love the recycling aspect…especially on Earth Day.

MASSACHUSETTS WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO CONSERVE PIPING PLOVERS

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The following video was produced in 2014. The number of Piping Plover chicks that have survived has gone down since that year, but I thought that what coastal biologist Jorge Ayub from DCR at Revere Beach has to say is especially relevant to our Good Harbor Beach. He begins speaking at 2:45.”We have seen this year an improvement, relative to last year, and acceptance. We’ve seen a tremendous amount of success. This year the Plovers fledged earlier in the season and the reason for that is thanks to the visitors and the residents who didn’t disturb them earlier in the season.”

Beautiful Fish: Boarfish -By Al Bezanson

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Its very thin body is deeper than it is long .

Color, in life, pink and pinkish white.  Maximum reported length about 1 foot.

General range— Tropical and subtropical Atlantic, mostly offshore.

Occurrence in the Gulf of Maine— We mention this fish because we have seen 8 specimens and heard of 6 others that were trawled in 55-80 fathoms, south of Nantucket Lightship in May 1950.  Other records of it near the American coast are one trawled by the Albatross III at 50 fathoms and a second at 22 fathoms off North Carolina, in January 1950. It has also been taken near Madeira, off the Barbados, and in Cuban waters.

Lobster Trap Building Blocks

Posted on by Pat D

Lobster traps are stacked in piles large and small all over town and remind me of building blocks.  Children’s building blocks come in all shapes and sizes; the same is not true of lobster traps.  They are certainly not toys, but rather much more like the blocks used to build foundations.  These traps are the foundation of livelihoods, families and the culture of the area.  They are beautiful.
