As pretty as a picture! Perhaps Rockport Art Assoc and Cape Ann Museum can hang a selection to time with the annual Rockport Illumination (from their collections and new work by living artists responding to the art, illumination, and the summer celebration).
Description- Late summer photos. Series around town. Gloucester and Rockport. Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach. Aug-September 2022. Simple pleasures of summer: beach towels on railings hung out to dry; sand rinse foot baths at Long Beach cottages; beach games; paper lanterns; clouds
downtown tree in Dock Square and for the playhouse too
Reminder this coming Saturday: Rockport Massachusetts is hosting the annual Rockport Illumination day of free family summer fun!
Volunteers help place the enchanting paper lanterns in earnest this Thursday.
