Dear Photograph

Dear Photograph,

Back in the days when the lawn didn’t get mowed and time was moving slowly, we would just sit in the tall grass, full of clover enjoying the Nova Scotia breeze. Fifty years later, that same young lad is now mowing the same lawn that once brought him and I so much pleasure, just from sitting there, relaxed and carefree, among all the clover.

My "picture of a picture of the past in the present" was selected on July 8, 2012. You can check it out, among all the other archived pictures on the Dear Photograph website: http://dearphotograph.com/
Love this idea!

There is also Dear Photograph the Book, a visual treat of 256-pages, that would sit nicely on  any coffee table. It's been available since May 2012.

Cape Breton - 33 Highway Photos

I have gathered some of my photos, the ones that were taken from the highways across Cape Breton during summer months where the grass is green and the weather is warm. If you are somewhat familiar with the island, you'll most likely know the location of each photo. If you're not familiar with the island, this is a quick trip around, enough to get a feel of Cape Breton Island while driving through on some of the main highways. Of course it doesn't cover all of the spectacular drives and sights, but another post of Autumn Highway Pics might be in the making. For now I hope you enjoy this drive across Cape Breton Island via The Canso Causeway, Route 19, The

Oh, those dandelions

There is something about dandelions, no matter how some of us might loathe them, they can still brighten up a field. They're so bright, you'd think they would glow in the dark. The Cape Breton Living Webcam (photo below) shows the dandelions appearing like sunny yellow buttons dotting the green grass in the field. I suppose it won't be long now  this little yellow flower (or weed) will turn into seed and we'll be blowing the seeds into the wind and making a wish...

Reg's Garden

So now that springtime is here I'm looking forward to warmer and brighter days of summer. It's time to change the cool winter theme of my screensaver to a warm summer theme. I have in a folder on my computer, 187 colourful photos of flowers and garden life. Perfect for a screensaver. This garden (Reg's garden) is where we got these wonderful photos and it's a sin to have them just sitting in a folder somewhere on my computer's hard drive. What a great way to bring them back to life! This set of photos is from last August 2011 and taken in my neighbour's back yard in L'Ardoise.  Thanks Reg for the walk in your garden...
