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.

Sky This Morning


Being in the woods keeps the morning light around the house quite pre-dawnish but looking overhead at the clouds catching the early rays captures the eye

Osprey With His Catch - I almost missed this 'on-the-fly' photogrqph


The creek photos along with this shot and a few more were all taken when I had drove into town and was going over the bridges at the North East Creek when I spotted several (three to four) Osprey doing their fishing maneuvers up and down the creek - I find it hard to focus on a flying target (or even capture it on the view screen at all) and most of the photographs I get of birds on the wing come from patience and luck.

The Great Blue Heron doing his daily fishing - I was hoping to see a low flying Osprey but lucked out spotting this fellow instead.
