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!

Late June and July Images!

 Recovering from heart valve replacement has kept me home and unable to take photos as much as I like. However I do feel great and I even mowed the lawn today even though a riding lawn tractor helps. I'm still restricted from lifting more than 10 pounds. Here is more leftover 2026 St. Peter's Fiesta shots and recent Good Harbor Beach images. And a deer that visited my neighborhood again.


I was about 10' away, acted very docile!

More 2026 St. Peter's Fiesta!

 On Monday after the Fiesta I underwent a heart valve replcement procedure (TAVI). The procedure only took about one hour and I stayed overnight in the hospital. Because it was a non evasive procedure I wasn't in any discomfort and feeling stronger everyday.The only thing I have to avoid for about a month is no lifting more than 10lbs. In other words I'm in lazy mode.
