The Beauty of Pollination
Bees Pollinating Sunflower
Friends and GMG readers share the most beautiful treasures, including the following film, sent in by Mary Weissbaum. Mary writes, “The hummingbird doing rolls chasing a bug is neat! Watch closely and check out the baby bat under its mama (@ ~2 min, 38 sec). Unreal !! If you never knew what goes on in the garden when you aren’t paying attention, watch this – some of the finest filmography you will ever see.” Thank you Mary!
I have posted this video before and think it is worth seeing again, and again!

Fisk Documentary Screening
Dear Joey,
You and everyone in GMG land are invited to join us for any of three screenings of the new documentary “To Hear the Music,” an hour-long film about C. B. Fisk, Inc. the Gloucester organ building company. It focuses on our founder Charles Fisk, the workshop community he fostered, and the organ we built for The Memorial Church at Harvard University, dedicated at Easter 2012. Film maker Dennis Lanson and his professional crew have created a PBS-quality document which beautifully captures the history of the company and all that goes into each organ we create. Folks will find further information and a trailer at: www.tohearthemusic.com .
Screenings include: Saturday, September 14th at Cape Ann Community Cinema, Gloucester, 2:30 and 5PM http://capeanncinema.wordpress.com/advance-tickets/
And Thursday, September 19th at Shalin Liu Performance Center, Rockport, 7PM. Free Screening. http://www.rockportmusic.org/cinema-events/9-19-13.html
There will be a Q&A with Dennis and yours truly after each screening. We will hope to see you there.

Joan Didion Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
September 5, 2013
“Character – the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life – is the source from which self-respect springs.”
Joan Didion (1934- )
A Sacramento native, Didion grew up in an Army family, their constant relocations causing her to feel like a perpetual outsider. As a student at UC Berkeley, she won a writing contest sponsored by Vogue, leading to a job at the magazine. She was married to writer John Gregory Dunne, and is the author of five novels and more than a dozen non-fiction books. Didion often writes about what she sees as chaos in American culture. Her work is permeated by a sense of foreboding dread of social change and anxiety at individual uncertainty. Her best known work, Slouching Toward Bethlehem, is a series of vignettes illustrating life in 1960’s California. One of her most recent works, The Year of Magical Thinking describes her experiences around the deaths of her husband and daughter in a short span of time. President Obama will present her with the National Medal of Arts and Humanities this year.
With this post the Quote of the Week celebrates three years with Good Morning Gloucester, one hundred and fifty entries. Just so you know, I write the biographies based on my research to give the quote context, and one can click on the name or the picture that Joey adds to be connected to a Wikipedia entry for that particular author. Sometimes the adages are only attributed when I can’t find evidence of the direct quote; famous quipsters like Abraham Lincoln and Yogi Berra are often credited with things others actually said first.
I am always encouraged by your comments, and your suggestions are welcome too.
Many thanks to Joey and the GMG team for creating a forum where these lines can be shared. I find it astonishing how much wisdom there is in the world, and how the thoughts of famous men and women can apply to my own life. I hope you do too.

Fish on Fridays
The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
This week Kathy photographs chefs at Gloucester’s Latitude 43. Sous-chef Shane Lovett cuts a yellowfin tuna, just caught in the waters off Gloucester. Sushi chef Scott Sena demonstrates how to cut Yellowfin tuna logs to make sashimi, nigiri and sushi rolls. http://latfortythree.com/

2013 “WolfStock” This Sunday 2-6 PM at Wolf Hollow
Feels like fall. Must be time to head to Ipswich and right after the turn-off to Crane’s beach, turn into 114 Essex Road (click for directions) to find yourself at Wolf Hollow this Sunday from 2-6 PM. Why? Because there will be wolves of course. And activities for your kids, food from the vendors, and beer from the Mercury Brewing Tap Mobile. Almost forgot, the Reggae Band Jah Spirit will be playing because after all it’s the 2013 Annual Reggae Fund Raiser at Wolf Hollow.
This is Nina and Jamie-Lynne Mezzetti (Nina is on the left), getting some neck scratches and licks traded back in January, photo by Zee Soffron. You may not get this close to a wolf on Sunday but they might howl for you. Wolves love reggae.
Until December 1st you can visit every Saturday and Sunday. Formal presentation of the wolves is at 1:30 PM so aim to get there by 1 PM. After December 1, Sunday only, weather permitting. (But this Sunday, remember, 2-6 PM.)
Here is a shot that Rubber Duck took last fall during a presentation:
Check out the size of those paws! Checking out the paw is an easy way of distinguishing Wolf from coyote or domestic dog. A wolf has some big ones. The next time you see tracks in the snow or mud on Cape Ann, measure the size of the paw. Was it a coyote, a coywolf, or a wolfote? Likely they will be a tad smaller than these paws.
Wolf Hollow Web Site or follow them on Facebook where there are more awesome photos of Wolf Hollow wolves.
