Rare Yellow Lobster and Other Mutant Lobsters We’ve Documented Down Here At Captain Joe and Sons Over The Years

Tune in to Diane Sawyer national news on channel 5 tonight at 6 for the story.
Here’s the yellow lobster Dave Jewell aboard the Lady J caught last week.
The lobster on the right obviously is the normal one. There are no bands on the yellow one because it was a female bearing eggs and only brought in to take pictures of.


Here’s a blue one from last December-

 

Here’s an albino one from last June

Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

Posted on by God's Morning

“Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.”
Earl Mac Rauch,  from “The Adventures of Buckaroo Bansai Across the 8th Dimension”

Not much biographic information is available for Rauch, a novelist and screenwriter who, in addition to the 1984 sci-fi farce Buckaroo Bansai (sic), also wrote New York, New York and A Stranger is Watching, but his quote reminds us that it is not possible to escape from one’s self.

The New England Aquarium Claims The Calico Lobster They Have Is One In Thirty Million. Then We Must Be The Luckiest Lovster Dock In The World Because We’ve Documented Many, Including Blue, Calico, Albino, Yellow and Triple Pincer Claw Lobsters

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This lobster they are touting at The Aquarium is not a one in thirty million lobster. We’ve documented several Calico lobsters at our dock in Gloucester Ma along with blue, albino and yellow ones. Also triple pincer claw lobsters. Here’s pictures and videos of them-

Winter King Planted in the Harbor Walk Gardens

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Jay Ramsey with his crew Mauriocio Tuquerres and Mike Rogers planting hawthorn Crategus viridis ‘Winter King’ at Gus Foote Park.

Yesterday Jay Ramsey and his crew planted the garden at I4-C2 and two trees at Gus Foote Park. Jay (Farm Creek Landscaping) suggested the hawthorn ‘Winter King’ and project architect Chris Muskopf and I agreed it was a great suggestion. Jay has had good success with ‘Winter King;’ notably with the several he planted along a windswept bank of the Annisquam River. ‘Winter King’ is relatively disease and pest free (atypical for members of the Rose Family) and is noted for its profusion of white flowers in May and tight clusters of bright red fruits that persist through the winter. The fruits are usually not eaten by birds until late winter. Crategus viridis is tolerant of poor soils and urban conditions. Crataegus means strength and viridis refers to the greenish bark of the species, however ‘Winter King’s’ bark is more silvery.
