Zip Line Kid Video of crane loading freshly cut trees – with commentary

Zip Line Kid shows a clear appreciation for the power and spectacle of what can be accomplished using big equipment.

Another kid-friendly night of music starts at 6pm in all 4 Cape Ann towns.  Excellent live music continues into the wee hours.  See complete live music schedule here.  Why would we ever want to live anywhere else?

Beauty in the World

When I came back from meetings this afternoon, I learned the Good News that it is Butterflies, Unicorns, and Rainbow Day on GMG!!! I had already scheduled the Homies post, but thought to squeeze in another to celebrate this special day on GMG. 

More Beautiful Gloucester Gull Photos from Charlie, Bob, John, and Marty

Seagull-1

This is my post, got it?

A flock of gulls at sunrise.Laughing Gull (summer plumage) at Dolphin Bar, Jensen BeachThe above three photos are from Bob Cullen, and he writes:

The first I caption “Harbormaster Homie”, taken 8/23/08 at Harbor Cove.
The second I caption “Homies Breaking at Dawn”, taken 8/8/12, 15 minutes before sunrise, at Good Harbor Beach.
The third is my “Away from Homie”, taken 4/21/11 in Jensen Beach, Florida. I include it because it’s my favorite gull photo (it’s a Laughing Gull, summer plumage), and because it very much resembles the gull in the GMG logo (which I don’t think exists in Gloucester.)

John Wheeler writes, “Hi Kim, here’s my shot of “Homie” Land Security,  keeping a watchful eye on the harbor.”

So Wonderful.

Kim Smith writes-

Dear Friends,

You’ve heard me talking about my butterfly film (for Months!). I began filming the black swallowtails last July and am only now close to finishing.  I am so excited to share this project with you and hope you enjoy the trailer.

My daughter Liv and friend Kathleen Adams collaborated on a beautiful rendition of “Simple Gifts.” The music in the background is an improv interlude from their recording session.

Coming soon: Documentary about the Life Story of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, from egg, to caterpillar, to chryrsalis, to adult. Filmed in a garden and along the seashore, Gloucester, Massachusetts. Featuring the black swallowtail butterfly, wildflowers, pollinators, the sun, the garden, and more.

Don’t you just love rainbows. I think they’re so pretty

25th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. March

The 25th Annual Matin Luther King, Jr. March will take place at 10 a.m. on Monday, January 21, 2013. The march for
peace will begin at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Rockport, 4 Cleaves Street, Rockport, and all those interested in
participating are invited to gather at the church at 9:30 to make signs. There will be a short program, led by Rev. Susan
Moran, following the march. 

If These Rodent Repellent Trash Bags Work I’m All In

These are available at Smith Hardware up at Gloucester Crossing and I assume the Rockport location too.  Damn varmint raccoons.  I’ve had my share of run-ins with raccoons.  Hate the little bastards. 

When I step back and look at the situation I know I could take the little sons-a-bitches but in real life face to face they scare the shit out of me.  I literally turn into a girly man.  Like even if I’m holding a nine iron and there’s no way the raccoon could get to me before implanting the club squarely in it’s forehead I’m scared to hell of the things.  Can’t explain it, it’s just the way it is.
