This is the furthest east point of North America, one of the two lighthouses there – the more modern one. For Silent Sunday, as it must be, when it’s not blowing. Have a good Sunday, friends.

Rupert 2004
Rupert was, quite simply, the greatest cat. If he were here today, I’m sure he would wish you all a happy Caturday, friends, as do I. I hope yours is a good one.
It’s always the orange ones.
Bees on Milkweed
These cold and bleak fall days our wild and honey bees are nowhere to be seen, so it’s lovely to look back on the halcyon summer days when this scene was so common. Who would have thought milkweed flowers were so lovely? Have a lovely day, friends.
This was taken with my 180mm macro lens.
Aja and Claudia
Aja
It’s time to introduce our two Cornish Rex cats for the animal lovers visiting my site. Aja, above, is a retired breeding girl of 6 years old and Claudia, below, is her daughter, one and a half years old.

Philadelphia Vireo
This little male Philadelphia Vireo has spent the past two days trying to get into my sitting room through a closed window. (Pretty sure this is what this is, according to my bird app.) I guess he is seeing his reflection in the window and thinks it’s a rival male needing to be driven off.
Saint Joseph’s Oratory
In November 2003 I took a trip with Ellie and her brother to Montreal, where they were born and grew up. One cold, clear night Gary and I walked around the streets of the city to where I took this photograph of Saint Joseph’s Oratory with the stars over the dome. I posted the photograph on Google+ in 2012 and was asked yesterday where it had gone. I’m glad I was asked as it’s a favourite of mine and brings back such good memories of our time together.
Dreaming of Tulips
We are all hoping that soon spring flowers will be making their appearance, so I am sharing this photograph of tulips taken in Karlsruhe Germany many years ago to cheer us through the snowstorm to come tomorrow.
Fog Clinging To Blomidon
I came across this photograph taken in warmer weather back in 2012, and have brought it here to share today with the original notes about it. It’s hard to believe that there will be days like this again when someone will be walking through the wet mud in bare feet, collecting shells or stones when the tide is out. Hard to believe when we are in the middle of a snow storm today in below freezing weather!

Fog Clinging to Blomidon, Viewed from Medford, Nova Scotia – Tide Out
We have the highest tides in the world in the Bay of Fundy (16 meters, 53 feet), so the view is constantly changing. The other evening as the sun was setting the tide was out and the cliff of Blomidon was encapsulated in a shroud of fog, the likes of which we had never seen. We were on the cliffs of Medford at the time. To give you an idea of the expanse, you can see the people walking in the foreground. The tide goes out and comes in at an incredible speed, so walkers have to be very careful not to be caught by incoming tides that cut them off from land.
Daisy Chain Girls
Original Post: March 29, 2012
These girls are carrying bags 3 times bigger than my camera bag! Doing what kids do best, shoelaces untied, daisy chains in the hair, best friends together walking to school in the sun. (Or have they just left home?)
