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!

Mrs. Cardinal Warming Eggs

18 July 2013
I posted previously about the second batch of eggs and how I was not going to pry this time around - but this was a 'from-a-distance' shot.

There - You and I



There - as quiet water, smooth and liquid water
There - like a white swollen August moon
There - where human eye rarely roams
There - created to create another
You and I and life and universe exist in glorious exultation of being.

re-post of said date - I was searching through to see just what photos I had or had not posted previously as I know that I sometimes choose one that I entered before, and this caught my eye, I still like it and it was so extemporaneous at the time

Road-side In Newfoundland

July 2013


I plan on entering a descriptive paragraph or two to give you some feel for what you are seeing and how it effected me to see this and similar scenes that were miles from any sign of habitation - a way of living that is not familiar to our crowded streets and cities teeming with the brew of life.
