“Mother Ann” on a Beautiful Day

IMG_9903

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mother Ann is a rock formation located near the Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States.  When viewed at the correct angle, the formation appears to be the silhouette of a reclining Puritan woman.  It is also believed locally that the formation represents the royal mother of King Charles I,  Anne of Denmark, after whom Cape Ann is named.

The formation may have been named by Captain William Thompson of Salem in 1891, and has since been compared to New Hampshire’s Old Man in the Mountain.[3] A nearby whistling buoy is known as “Mother Ann’s Cow”.

Featured stopover on the drive to Baltimore from New Jersey … Fort Square Cafe

Last Sunday at the Fort Square Cafe … ran across some friends at breakfast. They were on their way to Baltimore from New Jersey. No kidding! On the right, Caitlin Warr, aerial ballet artist from Missoula, MT, now living in LA, was about to do a photo shoot aloft on the THOMAS E LANNON. Eve Brem from Switzerland is the photographer. Bryan Ruegg, holding a calendar featuring Caitlin flying over schooners, and his father Tom Ruegg did the driving. They are all racing on sch ADVENTURER in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race (GCBSR) from Baltimore to Portsmouth, VA starting Oct. 16th. 

ADVENTURER, from Easton, MD was first (again) in the medium class this year in the Gloucester Schooner Race, and has often been first in class in the challenging GCBSR.  Last year at the GCBSR Awards/Pig and Oyster Roast Caitlin Warr wowed us with her daring, fluid moves from high aloft.

Nichole’s Picks 10/17 + 10/18

Once again we have what is called a “No Brainer” for fun family activities.  So much so, in fact, that I’m only giving you two options.  Between Rockport’s Awesome HarvestFest and Salem’s Fantastic (albeit creepy) Haunted Happenings you should be all set.  If you’re still finding yourself with free time get outdoors and take a hike or head to one of the dozen or so phenomenal apple picking locations and get yourself some cider donuts!

Pick #1  Rockport HarvestFest

Scarecrow judging, live music, food, beer (yes, beer in Rockport), cooking demonstrations, tons of family activities, AND a BLOCK PARTY on Bearskin Neck.  Come on, seriously!  Can you think of anything more fun?

Pick #2  Haunted Happenings in Salem

Ok, so I can’t lie.  I have never taken my boys into Salem to appreciate any of the mayhem that is the “Month of Halloween.”  This is the year, however, that I fully intend to go!  I almost made it last year, but our weekends are just, what I’ve come to call, “No Joke Busy.”

Here is a link for all of your Haunted Happenings Needs!  Totally check it out!

Pics from Rededication Event at 3 Page St, Gloucester, Sunday, 10/11

Hi Joey and everyone,
My husband and I thought you’d enjoy these pics from the re-dedication on Sunday of the “Trail of Thai Royalty” plaque
that is now re-installed at 3 Page Street. The Children in the photo are from Thailand, and performed a traditional Thai
dance as part of the festivities, which included speeches, traditional Thai prayers, song, dance and foods.

FRIENDS! DON’T MISS JOHN SLOAN GLOUCESTER DAYS AT THE CAPE ANN MUSEUM

FRIENDS! DON’T MISS JOHN SLOAN GLOUCESTER DAYS AT THE CAPE ANN MUSEUM

(Delaware)OurRedCottage,Lilacs[1]Red Cottage is located on East Main Street, across from the entrance to Rocky Neck, and is still painted red!

Beautifully curated by Martha Oaks, from museums around the nation, the exhibit comprises a stellar collection of canvases painted by John Sloan (1871-1951) during the five summers he spent on Cape Ann. I know how much everyone enjoys Hopper’s Houses and it is a joy to see scenes of our community expressed through the eye and brush strokes of Sloan, one of our country’s most celebrated early 20th century painters, and a leader in the Ash Can School of painting.

As was I, you will be thoroughly delighted by the approximately three dozen paintings of our neighborhood, scenes of Gloucester’s Main Street, Rocky Neck sunflowers, the former US government fish hatchery on Ten Pound Island, the trolley along East Main Street, fashions and sentiments of the period, and a wealth more of Gloucester captured in the midst of everyday life during the transitional years of the first World War.

“A Landscape is a Portrait of Place” ~ Sunflowers by John Sloan

Of the approximately 1200 canvases painted by Sloan, 300 are of Cape Ann. One of my favorites of the favorites is Red Cottage, summer home to he and his wife Dolly during the artist’s highly productive Cape Ann years.

I’ll return to take a photo of Red Cottage in prettier light, rather than today’s sunny high noon skies.

John Sloan Gloucester Days runs through the end of November. The last lecture in the series of three, Passing through Gloucester: John Sloan between City and Country will be presented by Michael Lobel on Friday October 30th. For more information visit the Cape Ann Museum website.

FOB request

Hi all:  We had a nice  post from a FOB regarding where there are trails to ride horses.  This request came to me when I posted those beautiful horses that live near me.

Thank you.

 

 

Will someone from Wildlife please allocate some goddamned money to study the Coyotes?

Listen I don’t care if you’re one of these Coyote sympathizers who would rather see a human eaten than a coyote put down or if you are a Coyote hater who thinks that we can eradicate and remove them one by one and relocate them. -I consider both factions equally crazy on the crazy meter.

But the fact of the matter is that there’s bananaland amounts of money being spent on counting fish.  I’m pretty sure we have more people counting how many fish that are being landed than we actually have fishermen fishing for fish.

So how about we carve out just a smidgen of money to track the explosion in the past 8 years of coyotes living among us.  We had the coyote that had to be shot down at East Gloucester Elementary School and now this attack on Eastern Point.  Every single year there are more and more of them around us.

I’m not saying that we gotta round em up and kill em or relocate them, but I wouldn’t mind some benchmarks or some studying.

Oh, here it is, The National Marine Fisheries Service 2016 Proposed budget- A Mere $990,121,000.00

nmfsbudget
Isn’t it about time we get some money together to study the coyotes and figure out what the heck is going on?
