Class of 2013 !

Working a midnight to 8 am shift I almost missed it. My nephew was graduating from Gloucester High School and I had strict orders from my wife not to forget the camera! Boy was I lucky, sound asleep I was woke up by my neighbor as he power washed his deck. The noise of the two stroke engine became an unintended alarm clock and I had thirty minutes to dress then drive to the high school and find a parking space. I arrived as the grads were making their way to their seats.


Here comes the grads!

Lost and Found!

In an attempt to clean up the files in my computer I came across a random collection of photos. In this post I include those along with a few recent ones. I think this collection enforces on why this place is so special!

Getting Close To Nature!

Spending time on the waterfront you can't help catching the waterfowl. For years I took gulls and swans for granted, almost pest like. But after taking pictures you see the beauty and appreciate their existence.
No need for captions here, I'll let the images tell the story.

Lights Up.....Turf Down!

New Balance Track and Field at Newell Stadium is moving right along. The track will take some time longer but all looks good for the Fall season. One difference will be the fresh cut grass smell will give way to the smell of rubber!





Lights installed!


Taking shape.

Down the vistor's sideline.
