Cape Ann Images: Thanksgiving Clash of 2014!

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!

Thanksgiving Clash of 2014!

From 1982 until 2002 I was an assistant coach for the Manchester/Essex Hornets. For 20 years of my life I worked the sidelines loosing my voice mostly on muddy fields and having a blast most of the time. The Thanksgiving game is for the seniors for all their hard work and dedication to the team,school and a culmination of all of their hard work. This year snow had fallen the night before and during the warm ups much of the field was covered by snow. As the morning and game wore on, most of the snow vanished. With only 5 seniors the Hornets struggled this season but put up a great fight on this "Turkey Day". As a matter of fact they had a chance to tie and go ahead with the extra point kick if it weren't for a lucky bounce off a helmet into the arms of a Royal defender late in the game!
