Where Zat? #16

Posted on by Sharon

Last week Joey identified the location of the “OPEN” flag at Essex Seafood on 133 heading into Essex. Other readers got it as well…after Joey did. The week’s location isn’t as prominent as last week’s, but some of you will know where it is!

Have fun!!

Good morning, Niles Pond

Posted on by Sharon

Very busy place this morning. A feeding frenzy among the mergansers, mallards, gulls, Canada geese, and the swans. Peaceful, but busy. Time to connect with Nature!niles-3-22

Niles Pond is a designated Great Pond located on Eastern Point, accessible by Eastern Point Boulevard which is a private road. It is a freshwater pond (I thought it was an estuary) that is valuable to migratory birds, but the causeway that protects it along its eastern edge adjacent to Brace Cove is in danger of being washed out. From this causeway, is a view of Brace Rock, which was painted by Fitz H. Lane.

What is this??

dsc_6876-640x480 I was taking photos at Pirate’s Cove this morning and saw this “chair”.

Anyone know if it has a specific purpose? It has a wooden base as you can see.

Just curious!

How to celebrate a birthday!

kylie-cake

When you’re 10 anything goes! Kylie always tends to eat “outside the box”. But that’s what being a kid is all about!

Happy 10th Birthday, Kylie!

kylie

This is Kylie, grandkid #4, with new family member, Skruffy. Kylie’s 10 today. She’s the 13th generation of our family in Gloucester.  She’s my “Nani, can I come over and do something with you?” kid.

Happy birthday, my little friend! I love you!

Where Zat, Frank and Paul?

dsc_6693-open-full Joey remembered where   that sign is. If I hadn’t taken the photo yesterday, I wouldn’t have known.  One of those things you just don’t notice. And my son who delivers there everyday for Ocean Crest didn’t recognize it either!

I asked my son if he knew where this was. He should know, but he didn’t. Joey probably does.

Take a shot at it! Good luck!

I don’t always know what I’m shooting, but my eye says, “Hit the button and don’t ask questions!”.  So that’s what I do. (And then I ask!)

Sunday Morning Steeple

Posted on by Sharon

st-ann

I got up early again this morning and stopped down by Capt. Joe’s. It was about 7:00 and the sun, not as bright as yesterday, softly warmed the cove.

I absolutely love this time of day, especially on the weekends. And Spring is definitely on its way. The birds are extremely animated. Everywhere I go – sparrows, crows, gulls, woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees, geese, buffleheads, ducks – a beautiful cacophony.

Get out there!!

OK…If you’re really serious about getting into shape for the Blackburn Challenge, rowing with Damon, or walking from the car to the market for ice cream, check these guys out for role models. Notice there are no bubble butts or flubbery muscles. Gotta start NOW!!! dsc_0133-640x480

When I was out shooting St. Patrick’s Day window displays Tuesday, I stopped in at Art Haven to see the kids and their projects. Some were working on the windows out front, but my friend Andy was creating art from an old guitar. He had some cool stencils and spray paint that he used to create incredible designs.dsc_6345-small-a

I went back today to check out Andy’s progress. He wasn’t there, but the guitar was against the wall drying.

He said it wouldn’t be a working guitar, but it sure is a work of art!

dsc_6429-small-a Nice work, Andy!

Shooting into the sun can bring out details you’d never see otherwise. This shot was taken last week. I never get tired of Gloucester sunsets.  —Sharon
