Cape Ann Images: The Art of Fishing!

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!

The Art of Fishing!

With a light rain falling, the other day I ventured out looking for signs of Fall. Though I'm not a "birder" I do keep my eye out for interesting fowl. Most aren't rare but catching them doing something interesting can be fun. I was heading over the bumpy road of Stone Pier in West Gloucester when close by I spotted a Great Egret doing it's thing....fishing.

I've been noticed!
