Splash over on Stacy Boulevard

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Friday while walking on the boulevard after high tide, the splash over was fabulous.   As I was trying to get this photo, the water from the other side came over my head.  Glad I did not use my Canon camera.

Antoinetta was checking on the Chris Williams installation–“Will you be there? Don’t forget December 9th! Saturday is the big reveal and dedication ceremony!” [Scheduled with the Middle Street program, right before the Lobster Trap Tree Lighting which is on Harbor Loop by Maritime Gloucester’s Deck the Docks!]

Aug.* September 3, 2023 Blooms, crowds, sails. Views from Stacy Boulevard and vicinity. Sky at times hazy smoky from wildfires as has been common during this summer.

*typo update–or clearly wishing for more summer 🙂
