Passing time

I don’t know about you but I don’t feel like I gained an hour of sleep this weekend!  The upside is that Friday is a holiday for me so I’ll be counting down the hours until then.  Today I’m sharing a few shots from one of my jaunts around Annisquam Light taken the same night within an hour of each other.   The light changing gives you such a different feel in each pic.  Happy Monday all!

Outing to Rafe’s Chasm

Posted on by Pat D

Of the many things I have to thank Donna Ardizzoni for, making me aware of Rafe’s Chasm is among the top three.  GMG Jimmy and I took a little walk Saturday to explore.  As we were making our way from the parking lot to the ocean, I amused myself thinking about all the walks through the woods we take around here to get to water:  Halibut Point, Coolidge Reservation, even Dogtown.  And now, Rafe’s Chasm.

IMG_0669

As we were making our way in, we took note that (many) others had preceded us:

IMG_0670

What a pretty, peaceful place!  We just sat there for quite a while taking it in.  We were there long enough to posit that the big stone at the top of the gap looked like an eagle.  I thought the squarish stone just below looked like a picnic basket.  GMG Jimmy did not agree.

IMG_0692

Of course, there were fishermen.  Wynken, Blynken and Nod here did not appear to catch anything while we were watching.  Probably our fault.

IMG_0713

But, of course, the real beauty of the place is in the sitting, listening and looking. Thank you, Donna for introducing us.

SPECIAL FILM SCREENING OFFER!

Donors contributing $20.00 or more will be invited to a very special screening preview party of the documentary Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly.

Consider the cost of a movie ticket, beverage, and popcorn is $20.00. By contributing to the film’s online fundraising campaign, you will help bring it to theaters and classrooms. Contributors will be invited to the film’s preview screening party and be amongst the first to see this stunning film!

 

One of the many ways that you will find Beauty on the Wing to be unique is that it was filmed entirely on location, outdoors, and in nature. There are absolutely no computer generated graphics. The life cycle scenes were filmed on Cape Ann, in meadows, dunes, and gardens (not laboratories). Flight scenes are not simulated, but filmed on location, predominantly on Cape Ann, some in Angangueo, and also Santa Barbara, Westport, Cape May, and Stone Harbor Point. Mostly though, through story telling and cinematography, the film shines a beautiful light on the Monarch migration as it unfolds on the shores of Cape Ann, portraying our community and the natural world of Cape Ann as we would hope to be revealed to the world at large.Cape Ann Monarch Butterfly Habitat
