Barque Picton Castle

The Picton Castle sailed from Lunenburg today. I understand that she won't be back for approximately 3 years. Her departure was delayed due to Sandy. I was happy that it was delayed until a day that I could be there.

I, of course, took lots and lots of pictures. :) Here are some

A Day at Ross Farm

My photo club had a field trip to Ross Farm. It's a heritage farm in New Ross, Nova Scotia. If you ever in the neighbourhood it's worth the trip.

It was a beautiful fall day. I'm glad that we went last weekend because with the storm heading our way I doubt that there will be any leaves left.

Serenity

Fall is here and every where you look there is a feast of colour. Except on weekends. It's rained every.single.weekend.

However, I take my camera with me most days and I had to pull over on my way to work to take these shots.

Flower Power

So I love flowers. I take lots of pictures of flowers. My problem is that they always end up looking like, well, like pictures of flowers. I've spent the past week bringing flowers inside and trying various still-life studies of flowers- trying to convey more than just 'here's a pretty flower'. Not sure how well I succeeded. But it's been fun and educational.

Feel free to comment on any of them. :)

You are cordially invited

Our photo club is having an exhibit at a local Museum. If you are in the area, drop in and have a look at some photos. I was thrilled to have my photo chosen for the promotional material. :)

A Doggy Tale....

sorry I've been  a bit on a dog kick lately. I came across this and couldn't resist. It is not staged but discovered on our most recent hike in the woods
