Not Much to Eat

A snowy scene with several deer foraging at the edge of the forest. A single deer in the front with her tail towards us has her head up and is looking to the right.
Foraging in the Snow

A winter visit to Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia always brings photographic rewards as the wildlife is much calmer and more focussed on finding food than worrying about me and my camera. This deer was curious, though, as we were quietly and patiently waiting for the right moment. She features on my ‘Animals’ gallery.

Arthur Comes to Canning

As of last night I believe that everyone in the area now has their power restored. This was taken at the (blocked) entry to Canning on the night of the storm, last week. Roads were blocked, trees had fallen onto electricity and phone lines, so most people had neither. Which meant for many people in the area that they also didn't have water (as most living outside of the main town limits rely on wells and electric pumps). Which for many meant that they didn't have drinking or washing or cooking water, but also couldn't flush toilets. And for many people that situation lasted for 5 days. On top of this many people suffered some damage to property and lost a lot of mature trees, pulled down by the force of the wind in the branches that were heavy with strong early summer leaves.

Now it's all over. But the effects will be around for some time to come and the cleanup is only just begun.

Descent to Crystal Falls, Nova Scotia

In album NovaScotiaLandscapes

A field trip last weekend took me to Crystal Falls, which is deeply hidden in the woods, not altogether easy to find. It was my second trip to the falls, my second time to get lost going there. The falls are featured (from my first trip) a little later in this album.

I have had too much studio work lately which has kept me from posting on G+, so I hope this makes up for it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Fishing For Striped Bass – Early Spring Afternoon

In album Weekly Photo Project 2013

This photograph was made yesterday on a beautiful Spring afternoon walk on the peaceful shore of the Minas Basin close to Starr's Point, Nova Scotia. As we were walking back we met another fisherman making his way to the shore who announced: 'The striped bass will be biting soon. Hope it's today.'
