What was flying around the Beauport
A couple of nights ago as the sun was going down, I was at the Boulevard and saw this sight. Come to find out it was lots of seagulls because there was an Eagle out of Ten Pound Island.

Gloucester in the news: Nell Porter Brown fabulous Beauport Sleeper McCann article in Harvard Magazine
Harvard Magazine, May-June 2018, “Gloucester’s Beauport Mansion” by Nell Porter Brown is well done, sprinkled with quotes from site manager Martha Van Koevering, and with special upcoming tour announcements for the season at this Historic New England property, 75 Eastern Point Blvd, Gloucester, Mass., open May 26-October 13. Beauport was designed by Henry Davis Sleeper and executed by and with architect Halfdan Hanson. One must go and go again to Beauport!
excerpt:

It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas…at the Beauport
Christmas at the Beauport is beautiful. I stopped by for an hour the other day while they were still in the midst of decorating. I struggled with wanting to take photos …and wanting to stay out of their way. So, this is all I left with…but, you get the gist. I look forward to going back for a holiday cocktail and to enjoy the holiday ambience again soon.
