The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?

Why I created this......

Born and raised in Gloucester, Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bicycles! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. For that reason artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years, they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas, I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!

I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

Daybreak Plus an Expensive Jigsaw Puzzle!!

 When I get out of work the sun is just breaking the horizon so on the way home I head over to Good Harbor Beach.

Earlier in the week I entered my house and my wife was at the kitchen table putting together a $ 180.00 jigsaw puzzle! It turns out she had an envelope containing $ 180.00 in cash sticking out of her hand bag. Our dog found it and shredded it up!

March On!

 Another month is here and this one signals the end of Winter. This post has a few from the past two weeks and some I managed to get this Sunday. I got the flu and wasn't able to get out.

February and Winter is Winding Down!

 So far the total snowfall we have got about 8" is from a series of small snowstorms and not going away due to a long cold stretch. This I can deal with knowing winter is on the way out. Knock on wood!

I'm being trailed by a Wedgie!
