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!

Great Weather....For Seals and Swans !

It was 25 degrees mid-day with a few flakes of snow now and then,the sun even peeked out of the clouds but only for a moment. At Lanes Cove a young Harp seal relaxing on the sea ice while a swan enjoying gull company at Wonson's Cove.

Frustrating Bright Day !

The frustrating part is I'm still looking for a job! It's been a year now and the only offers have been too far away or low pay or both! Today I just found out I just missed out on a job that could have been a perfect fit. With over 30+ years in Quality Assurance/Control I figured that would count for something. Such is life in this economy I guess. Anyway back to today's post. It was a crystal clear day but cold. Good enough though to get the dog to the beach while the gulls look for scraps at the Fish Pier.
