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!

Beatific Countenance!



A Buddhist walks up to a hot-dog vendor and says, "make me one with everything."



The hot dog vendor, having heard this one a million times, politely chuckles and hands the Buddhist a dog with the works. He then says, "That'll be two dollars."

The monk hands the hot dog vendor a five dollar bill, which the vendor tucks into his pocket. After a few minutes, the Buddhist coughs politely.

"Yes, can I help you?" says the hot dog guy.

"What about my change?" asks the monk
.
The hot dog vendor assumes a beatific countenance. "Ah, surely you must know this already, my friend. Change comes from within."

Fallen Spruce At The Shore

12 September 2013
Walking along the shore at Colin's Cove we passed this fallen spruce, victim of some mighty wind off the sea, which is slowly on its way thru the earths unending cycle of renewal.

Nice Yellow Legs

11 September 2013

This is a little clearer view of the Solitary Piper than the one I published in August - water is still as clear but in this case the emphasis is the bird itself.
