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!

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.

Oh Deer!

Pulling into my driveway this week I noticed a deer stuck behind the construction fence of the hopefully soon park expansion where the East Gloucester School used to be. The deer eventually got out but not before I was able to photo capture it.
