Live blogging: What a sunset! #gloucesterma

The Ipswich Bay view tonight. (click the photo for larger image)

The iPhone camera can’t even recreate the amazing colors that happened!

What a color change in 2 minutes! I bet you’ll see a few shots of this here on GMG.

Silhouettes ~ Capt. Joe Fishing Boat

Capt Joe Gloucester fishing boat. ©Kim Smith 2015. -5Yesterday afternoon as the sun was setting I stopped down the Jodrey State Fish Pier to see if there was any ice left in the harbor. There was some, but it seemed mostly along the edges. Snapping photos of the Captain Joe fishing boat, I met the captain of the Captain Joe and, no surprise, his name is Captain Joe! He was super personable to talk with and asked whether I was speaking American English or was from Great Britain. I asked him from where was his accent and he said a combination of Sicilian and Italian. One of the crew joked and demanded a $100.00 per shot as he assumed I was working for an international magazine. Funny! I told them all about Good Morning Gloucester. If you read this Captain Joe, thanks for the photos of your beautiful boat in the setting sun!

Just curious–in the above photo, does anyone know what that box-shaped thing is at the end of the dock, below the seagull?

Dinner and Dessert

Last night was my first dinner out at a person’s home. Sharon and Chuck King served Southern chicken with rice, and dessert was the view of Gloucester from their deck. Delicious!

Live Sunset View From Flat Cove Landing Rocky Neck

The colors of the sky from our kitchen window were so gorgeous BJ & I jump in the car and quickly drove down the street to capture the end of the sunset… The colors in the sky changed so fast it was amazing!

Good-bye Storm, Hello Sunset!

Check out this gorgeous photo taken by the one and only Rebecca Borden!

“The sunset snuck in over the horizon just as the storm/squall passed.

Weather + Sunset + Gloucester Harbor = Never Gets Old”

Now that’s an end of the day view that I could get used to!

Mother Nature Keeps an Eye out over Wingaersheek Beach

Or at least that is what I saw in the clouds Sunday evening while exiting the Annisquam River to head home to Rockport.
