Colby Farms Sunflowers

Posted on by Bridgette Mathews

Every year Colby Farms, in Newbury, MA plants a field of Sunflowers and if you want to smile…you’ve got to go!   It’s a beautiful display and over the years I’ve seen many people there taking family photos or senior portraits.   They are usually in bloom the end of August so stay tuned and  I will let you know when they are ready!   In the meantime the Farmstand has great things to offer over the summer so if you are in the area and want some fresh produce stop on by!

Nichole’s Picks 7/2 + 7/3 and the 4th of July

Posted on by Nichole S.

Pick #1: CATA TROLLEY FROM STAGE FORT PARK

I feel like I talk about this once a month or so because it is such a good take.  Park at Stage Fort Park, for FREE mind you, hop on the trolley, tour the city, jump on and off all day long if you’d like, and then be delivered right back to your car at the end of the day.  You can choose to simply take a ride for exactly one hour….or make a day of it by stopping at several of its destinations.  What an easy way to get to Good Harbor Beach!

READ MORE HERE  and also see the full schedule.

Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays  10:00-5:30

one way fare:  $1

all day pass: $3       and children under 5 are free

Last Chance To See Award Winning Albatross At Gloucester Stage Company

The critically acclaimed Albatross by Matthew Spangler and Benjamin Evett runs through July 3 at Gloucester Stage Company, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA. The production has been receiving rave reviews and nightly standing ovations during it run in Gloucester. Inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s classic, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Albatross brings Coleridge’s tortured seaman into the present day to recount one man’s doomed journey on the open sea. A fast paced adventure filled with sea battles, storms, and ice-bound ships, Albatross uses visually thrilling stagecraft powered by the latest multimedia technology to bring The Mariner into the modern world. Directed by Rick Lombardo, this rollicking sea yarn features actor and co-author Benjamin Evett recreating his bravura 2015 Elliot Norton-winning solo performance of The Mariner in his Gloucester Stage debut. In 2015 Albatross enjoyed an acclaimed premiere at The Poets’ Theater in Boston winning two Elliot Norton Awards for Outstanding Production by a Small Theater and Outstanding Solo Performance. Following the limited engagement at GSC, Albatross will move to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, 2016 and Off Broadway at 59E59 Theaters in New York City in January, 2017.

St Peter Fiesta Gloucester Pavillion Beach greasy Pole sunset -11 copyright Kim SmithAfter filming the 5k and the rides, I walked over to Pavilion Beach and caught a Seine boat practicing by the Greasy Pole in the very Fitz Henry Lane-like luminous atmosphere. It’s all captured on film and am fortunate that the one evening that I could film at the carnival, the twilight could not have been prettier. Viva!

POLYPHEMUS MOTHS MATING!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Polyphemus Moths Mating copyright Kim SmithPolyphmeus Moth update ~ The evening of the day that Jane’s female Polyphemus Moth emerged, she found two males outside the net enclosure eager to get in and meet the female. Amazingly, the wild males had found the captive female by the pheromones that she began to release soon after emerging from her cocoon. The purpose of the male’s large and feathery antennae is to detect the females pheromones. This is the natural biological world functioning as it should, but I still find it so interesting and extraordinary!

Jane opened the door for the males and in the morning, discovered the female and one of the males mating. They stay coupled together for about a day. The female will begin to oviposit eggs almost immediately.
