Wind Surfer

We were far enough away from what was left of Hurricane Irene to just get a little wind.

Riley

Are you going to eat all of that???

Stubby

This baby sparrow has been visiting the feeder. Flying without tail feathers must be a little hazardous.

We watched the RCMP Musical Ride in Bridgewater today.

I've passed this old shack in First South quite a few times.

The lilies are in bloom in the pond between Broadcove and Cherryhill.

Sand Sculpture

What with the poor economy and debt ceilings and all, we have to settle for sand houses instead of sand castles.

I spent alot of bucks on this hairdo and it just doesn't look right.

A rainy day spent chasing daffodils.

Sometimes you just get lucky.

Poses of Roses

I am having a very hard time dealing with backdrops and lighting and reflectors and tripods.

If I move the backdrop to the left do I move the camera to the right?

I'd rather just go out in the woods and shot something.

I have to admit I did start to feel relaxed after taking about 50 pictures of these roses but I have a nagging suspicion I was more relaxed before I started.

It seems like it just takes one warm day...

A sunny day with temperatures around freezing. A good day to split some wood.

Pulp Fiction

As the ice melts and the wood roads become too soft for heavy machinery, loggers in Lunenburg County have no choice but to harness up their trusty chocolate labs.
