Stolen moments

Wedding planning and travel has taken up most of my time the last few weeks so I’ll have to settle on these stolen moments of peace with my iphone.   Happy Monday all!!

Who Else Looks for These Turkeys Every Day?

At first there was just one….at some point there were obviously two….so now there are three.  Three turkeys living in the center of the Blackburn Circle.

It used to make me so sad to see the female turkey walking around day after day in the brown desolate grass in the center of the busy rotary.  I assumed she was injured….and for a while she went unseen during my commutes back and forth to Beverly.

Then, low and behold, I saw her again….and this time she was followed closely by a couple of poults.  Cute little baby turkeys.

So now, it would seem, all three of them live at Blackburn Circle.  Do they stay there all day and night?  What an odd place to decide to live.

Rare Orange #Lobster Caught By Mike Tufts Aboard The Mighty F/V Degelyse

Our lobsterman Mike Tufts catches a rare orange#lobster. If we didn’t shoot the video to show it moving and alive you’d think it was cooked. He returned it to the sea once he let us shoot the video.

Heading Out Into the Fog

TAHNK YOU AINSLEY SMITH AND GLOUCESTER CLEAN CITY COMMISSION VOLUNTEERS!

In honor of International Coastal Clean Up Day, Gloucester’s Ainsley Smith led a team of volunteers to clean along the Annisquam River. Ainsley shares the following:

“We had about a dozen volunteers on foot, kayak and in small boats take place in our river clean up in honor of International Coastal Clean Up Day. We filled 9 bags of trash with the usual: foam cups, cigarette butts, snack wrappers, plastic and ziplock bags, as well as a buoy, a broom, a raft, a boot, work gloves, pieces of rope, gear, and fishing line. Many thanks to our volunteers who joined us despite the foggy start, we hope to make the river clean up an annual tradition!”
