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.

Immature Bald Eagle


As far as I can determines this is an immature Bald Eagle - beak is dark, white is scattered around the neck and a bit on the beak and although there is a dark band running across the eyes, the chest is dark - I could stand corrected but this seems right to me.  (this was a distant 24x lens shot, but I have cropped it quite a bit so that the bird is more distinct but some detail is lacking)

Surgery On Right Hand on Monday


just removed the bandaging after 24 hours had passed - kinda grungy bloody looking but seems to be in general good condition - going to shower and wash this clean, dry carefully and install new sterile pad and then wrap carefully with roll gauze wrap - (shower went well, cleaned nicely with only one spot of ooze and after patting dry covered with Bacitration before covering with sterile pad)
