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!

Fireworks and Leftover Fiesta Images!

The wife said: "We are going out in the boat to see the fireworks and we are bringing the nieces and nephews"! No problem I thought, it would be a great evening on the water. She asked when should we leave the dock and I tell her no later than 8:30. That would give us enough time to get out there and anchor up for the 9:30 starting time. So with that I head to the boat at 8:00 to get it ready. It's 8:30 and I'm still alone at the boat! I call the wife and she said our guests are still watching the Horribles Parade going by their Washington St. home. At 9:00 my wife calls, she locked her keys in the house and is walking to the boat! At 9:10 she arrives but our guests are no where in sight! She calls her niece and they are stuck in parade traffic! At 9:20 they finally arrive, kids get their life jackets on and we are finally off. By the time we approach the Paint Factory the fireworks begin! "J's Escape" still waiting for a crew! Fireworks over The Fort! No Comment! Greasy Pole walkers head out. Two boats of walkers! Lobster boat "Allison Carol" with the sails of the schooner "Ardelle" in the background. "Ardelle" sails by flotilla. Crowds gather on the beach. Fake body builder fails! Joe leaps! Down goes "No Comment"!

We got back from Spain and arrived on Washington Street just to hear the grand finale.

Love the fireworks images. We are supposed to have fireworks in our town on July 14. Hopefully they don't cancel them. Some fireworks on the 4th were canceled in our area because of the dry conditions.

We did have our fireworks and they were great! Still very dry here in southwest lower Michigan.

It's not "soda" and not "pop" or even "soda pop" it's "tonic"!
