I hope you all will tolerate one more post from our recent whale watching trip with Cape Ann Whale Watch. If you are AT ALL interested, this is a very very good opportunity to go out on one of the whale watches for a spring outing. It’s well worth the time and expense. These photos were among the ones I was able to get using my telephoto lens. You see some feeding behavior here which is an exceptional photo opp all by itself. In this case, the whales were “kickfeeding” which means they were slapping the tail on the water to stun the fish and then (often) blowing bubbles to further confuse the fish into staying close together allowing the whale to maximize the big swallow gulp of fish. Feeding whales attracts sea birds as you see here. Again, we had a super memorable adventure just a few days ago and while you can never be sure what you might see, this is a great time to go out if you are able.

Meet London! This sweet boy was originally picked up in Lynn, he was adopted out, but life often has challenges and he was returned to us – no fault of his own or the adopter. Shortly after he went home he had dropped weight fast, worried – the adopter had returned him in fear for his health. Later we learned he was diabetic and now with the proper food and insulin dosage he is all set and ready to find his forever home! London is also FIV+, meaning his immune system is weakened, but with regular vet visits and an indoor lifestyle he will have many good years by your side. London is a very loving and friendly cat, not shying away from strangers – often greeting them by calling out and rubbing against their legs. He loves to follow you wherever you go, going room from room like a little shadow! Adopt today!
London has joined our extended stay club, meaning his fee has been reduced in hopes to help find his forever home!

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……
