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.

No Photograph - But Just An Update On The Old Fellow
Haven't rode the bicycle in a long while, and so feeling good after the Carotid Artery cleansing, and some physical therapy on the ripped bicep, I hopped onto the velocipede and did a ten miler into town and back - knew I hadn't rode for a while, with my wrists and hands being quite tired from gripping the handle-bars but no other side effects or gasping for breath - so maybe I'll get up to forty or so soon.
Added Another Story
I pulled on my head veil and long gloves, removed the top cover and the inner cover, then put the top supper on and zipped the two covers back into place - no smoke, just a quick in and out - and the bees just kept on doing their work.
Lagavulin Scotch Whisky - 16 Year Old
another whisky tasting at a more local store - this is my second 'tasting' and have to say I was somewhat disappointed in that there were no other participants at the time than me and that the amount to taste was so parsimonious, not terrible but certainly not enough to make a decision to spend $70 plus tax - and although I already knew that Lagavulin is perhaps my bench-mark for comparing whiskies this wee wee dram was good but not enough in most cases to convince me to buy - but buy I did at $10 off the regular price (although technically for my spending limits it was still a bit steep). I now have it setting on my shelf unopened but there it is in all its mouth watering promise of a buck well spent (on a spring maid sheet as the old advertisement used to say, eh?).
