Cape Ann Images: January 2019

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!

Sunrise and Snow!

We had a sloppy then icy snowstorm Saturday into Sunday. Using the snowblower I had a problem. Rope buried under the snow jammed the auger breaking a shear bolt. I couldn't find my spares so it was a ride to the hardware store. I was lucky to find the last 4 in the store so I bought all of them. I put the spares where I can find them, in my tool box!

Geese in the east!

Looks like a cooked goose.

January Through the Years!

Being under the weather last week I didn't get a chance to get out and take some shots so here I figure is a nice time to review this week over the past few years.
