Good Morning Gloucester

Caitlin Smith writes- We have a resident owl who has taken to chilling on our tree. 🦉

When I saw him this evening I went back inside to get my Canin SureShot, since my iPhone could only get grainy shots of it…

Emile Gruppe (1896-1978), Cape Ann master known for cultivating an impressionistic approach through direct and reflected light, states that “objects are affected by two sources of light…the sun and the sky.” Two transparent pigments capture this alchemist drama when glazed, washed or merged:

    Alizarin Crimson, a cool, transparent reddish blue derived from the madder plant used for dye since 3000 BC, producing delicate, light pinks when diluted 

 

    Ultramarine Blue, a warm, transparent blue pigment named from Italian “ultra marino” (meaning beyond the sea), producing rich, moody violets when blended 

CAPE ANN COLLECTORS main gallery celebrates color and the excitement of compositions showcasing expansive skies conveying feeling rather than view, narrative rather than object, poetry rather than text – above the horizon line!

Once again, it seems the hummingbirds prefer Magnolia to East Gloucester as they have arrived at Pat and Jim’s before Joey’s. I’ve not gotten a great shot yet, but this is enough proof. Better images to come soon. The Baltimore Orioles have also returned much to our delight. There is at least one pair hanging around for now. I expect more to show up soon. It’s a wonderful start to spring! Welcome back Joey……

After we have been travelling, we often find ourselves at Minglewood on Rogers Street for a meal or a drink. It feels like coming home when we walk in and are greeted in a friendly manner and offered a seat. Most recently we stopped in for dinner which included mango salmon sushi for Jim and a quesadilla for me. We also had dessert from the specials menu: strawberry rhubarb shortcake (for the sake of this post, of course). We had built up a number of Serenitee points so we were able to take advantage of cash off our bill (win-win). We chatted with another nearby couple who were cashing in a birthday reward from Serenitee which is a REALLY great deal. Highly recommend the Serenitee reward program: Info at this link.
