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.

Sliver Moon - with owl?

Still sliver moon but look at the large (though small in photo) bird in lower right hand corner - after I took the first photo a large owl flew directly overhead but I was too slow to capture the shot.  Then when I uploaded to my computer I noticed that in my 4th or 5th shot that I might have accidentally caught him circling back toward the north-west.

Wait, Wait - that's not a honey bee

IIt's that time of year when we're supplementing the bees feeding with concentrated sugar water to help them build honey reserves for winter and this attracts marauding honey bees from other colonies, yellow jackets, and in this instance a large bald faced hornet.  Our home guard bees are really busy defending the hive from all intruders and in this instance fighting to the death with dark vader
