What's It All About, eh?

Cape Breton evokes deep memories and strong emotions for me as well as a deep appreciation for the beauty of my adopted island. My hopes are that you too might find the photos evocative - maybe a view you've not enjoyed before, or an 'Oh I've been there', or if from away that you may be encouraged to visit this fair isle so that you might come to love and breathe Cape Breton as I do. One word about place names that I use - some are completely local usage while others are from maps of Cape Breton that I've purchased over the years. I frequently post travel and other photos that are of interest to me - and hopefully you.

On the right hand side bar find my take on Single Malt whiskey - from how to best enjoy this noble drink to reviews (in a most non-professional manner) of ones that I have tried and liked - or not. Also musings, mine and others, on life in general.

Photographs are roughly 98%+ my own and copy-righted. For the occasional photo that is borrowed, credit is given where possible - recently I have started posting unusual net photographs that seem unique. Feel free to borrow any of my photos for non-commercial use, otherwise contact me. Starting late in 2013 I have tried to be consistent in identifying my photographs using ©smck on all out of camera photos I personally captured - (I often do minor computer changes such as 'crop' or 'shadow' etc but usually nothing major), and using ©norvellhimself on all photos that I have played around with in case it might not be obvious. Lately I have dropped the ©smck and have watermarked them with the blog name.

COMMENTS are appreciated as feedback is the driving energy of blogging - And if you like this site please pass it along to a friend. Thanks!

    awwwwwdorable!!!! Chickadees are one of my favorites ~~ I have been fortunate enough to have chickadees eating out of my hand and one experience of the female downy woodpecker sit on my hand for a few moments to stare and then trust me enough to take a peanut and fly to a nearby tree with it.. !! I was able to have my sister photograph the moment!! These are spectacular photos Norvell!!!!

    I have never had a bird eat out of my hand - but I can imagine the Chickadee - however the downy woodpecker is just an awesome thought - you amaze me -

    Patience is of the virtue and once that first chickadee lands on your hand to feed, you are hooked!! I make sure I always have a little stash of bird feed in my pocket when I am outside!! Here is the link to the downy woodpecker eating out of my hand (you may have to copy and paste the link into a new browsing window if you cannot click on it: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/myshot/gallery/14873#/gallery/597713/
