Hi Joey
I was at Stage Fort Park Sunday afternoon and happened to see this
guy trying to parasail by running down the hill into a light wind. He
did get off the ground but only briefly.

Gloucester has so many great wedding photo opportunities, this one was at Stage Fort Park.
Patiently waiting for the gates to open.
The unleashing with Mayor Kirk.
The first belly rub.
The Gloucester Dog Park at Stage Fort Park opened officially on Saturday. Many 2 legged and 4 legged friends came out to play in the park for the first time. I was surprised by how many people came out.
Congrats to the Friends of the Gloucester Dog Park for making it a huge success!
The Dog park has three sections, one for Large dogs, one for smaller dogs, and another for dogs who may not be completely ready to romp with their friends. At the entrance to each play area are park rules. Make sure you and your dog(s) follow those rules for everyone’s safety. You can read them HERE.
It was nice to see the dogs chasing each other, playing with their humans and relaxing in the sun. I would say it’s dog approved!

Hi Joey,
I happened upon this shot on my way out of town last Wednesday.
Enjoy!

The water-color has been really amazing lately.

Shot this this afternoon… It’s an Aerial Video of portions of Stage Fort Park.
There is a New Set of Propellers on the machine that haven’t been balanced yet and they are causing some distortion…
Will have the problem corrected this weekend.

It makes me want to get out my red Flexible Flyer.
I find myself creatively torn between the beauty of the abstract and realism of Cape Ann these days.

Saturday at Stage Fort Park having wedding pictures taken on Half Moon Beach, the little ring bearer with the pail and shovel is so cute.
Last weekend, Holy Family parish had it’s annual outdoor Mass and picnic at Stage Fort Park. I didn’t get any photos of the outdoor Mass, because I consider it inappropriate (at best) to pull out a camera and take photos while wearing liturgical vestments and concelebrating the service. However, I got some nice photos of the fun that came afterwards. As I am going away on vacation for a week, I will post shots of the different activities in a series of posts.
Today: the men of our local Knights of Columbus cooking and serving a tasty meal!
Here’s the latest press release from Maggie Hennessey-Nees, Director of Marketing and Community Affairs at Fox 25
