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.

Fawn


mother and fawn in the lane ran off into the wood but I was quick enough to get this decent shot of the baby watching me watch them

Bad News - Good News . . . . . loaded, brake locked on, bungee cords at the rear, small 2x4s at the front wheels, and I am off.





small plywood remnants keep tail gate from grating too much on the concrete porch

Bad News - Good News





Loaded up and heading out for, probably, Atlantic Tractor across the line and in Delaware - which are reasonable repair most of the time, no sales tax, but a little pricey - but I am going to call Curtis, the young man that keeps my truck in good and safe running condition to see if he can recommend a good local dealer.
[as you can see once I get the tractor up and onto the low (@16 inches high - 41 cm) end of our porch I can just roll it down to the high end and move it right into the truck bed]
