Joey,

I’ve been photographing Gloucester/Rockport area for about 5 years; I
live west of Boston but I do manage to get to Gloucester quite often.
I like the way GMG ties together the spirit and creativity of the
community, and I appreciate all the hard work of you and your
contributors.
Regards,
Joe Scamardella

Dwight Hebert Represents! In Roma
Dwight writes-
GMG was once again a witness to the sites and sounds of Europe, this time we are in Roma. A wonderful city, with warm people who send their love and affection to the folks on Cape Ann. Next on the agenda (tonight)…the closing ceremonies for the Barcelona (Spain, if in question) fire festival, aka: La Merce Festival. It features a fireworks and laser show. Monday, we head to Ibiza and then to Formentera.
As always, Dwight Hebert

Great Blue Heron Photo From Bill O’Connor
Hi Joe,
I wanted to share this photo of a Great Blue Heron that was feeding in Wonson Cove the other night. He would walk very slowly and stand motionless while he looked for food, so he made a pretty good subject. I was fortunate that he allowed me to get close enough to take this shot.
I can’t imagine what it must be like for the prey though. How terrified would you be if you were a crab that happened to look up and see this staring down at you!
For more on the Great Blue Heron check this link from the Mass Audubon!
Enjoy!

Linda and Rob Castagna Write About Being In Gloucester
We are back enjoying Gloucester and Rockport. We loved seeing the Greasy Pole musical just a month ago. Thought it was exceptionally created and carried out. Kudos to Henry for a dream played out. We think the man who played St. Peter was perfect for the part. He should lead all your parades in town, for sure, or at least stand on the platform by the greasy pole.
Today while children played on the beach, we observed the next generation of "walkers" carefully peanut butter the pole. Took about an hour. Then we watched as one of the greasers made it to the end. Very impressive watching them prepare for the future…successfully at that. For some reason, my husband wondered if it was chunky peanut butter…maybe it was a traction thing.
Then we walked the Boulevard and enjoyed watching Firdosh Pathan feeding the sea gulls and greeting people as they walked by. That’s what we love about your town, there is always something for everyone to do and many times, it gets written up. Blessings,
Linda and Rob Castagna
