Cape Ann Images: A Hint of Christmas !

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. 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!

A Hint of Christmas !

As Christmas creeps closer the signs are all around, even on the docks. More and more decorations go up as shopping traffic picks up. And do you notice how many UPS and Fed Ex trucks are showing up on neighborhood streets? Cyber shopping is on the rise!

Dock built manger scene!

Johnny on the dock yelled out: "There's a penquin in the harbor"! Knowing there are no penguins in the northern hemisphere I grabbed the camera anyway and found this bird. I don't know what it is but it's either a small gull or a large sandpiper.
