Mahone Bay





Mahone Bay

I have visited Mahone Bay on three occasions (2003, 2005, and 2009) and wandered the downtown section, taking pictures. I have created a new Mahone Bay Album on my Travel Facebook Page. I plan to add the photos over the next week or so. If you would like to follow the album, you can find it here - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1284407293372703&type=3

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this scenic community!

St. Pierre










St. Pierre

I have been to St. Pierre thrice (1981, 1999, and 2023) and enjoyed all the trips. IN 2023, we stayed for 2 nights instead of one, and I had a better chance to walk around the town. I have four St. Pierre Facebook Albums and have provided links below. In case you aren't aware, St. Pierre is a part of France so people in Fortune can be in France in less than 1 hour.

It's been a while since I saw a moose in my yard in Holyrood, However, I am lucky to have seen many moose in my yard and have 3 Facebook Albums with pictures of them! I have provided links to the albums below:

    Great Blue Herons









    Great Blue Herons

    The first great blue heron I saw was in British Columbia in 1978. Since then, I have photographed them in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, but my best pictures were taken in SW Florida, where I spent 7 winters. The birds in Citrus Park (now Bonita Terra) were used to people being around, and I could get close views with my zoom lens. 

    You can scan through my most recent Great Blue Herons Facebook Album. You can find the link below:

    Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary











    Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

    I visited the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary on a beautiful March 16, 2015, just over 10 years ago! It was an interesting walk. Several groups knew every bird by the sounds they heard, many photographers with long telephoto lenses were hoping to catch the perfect photo, I spoke to many along the way, including a guy who had the same camera as I, who asked me how to do a few things. because the camera was new to him - it was pretty new to me then, too, but I was happy I knew the answers.

    The boardwalk trail was interesting, and I found lots of pictures. :)  You can find links to my Facebook Albums below:

    Halifax 1988








    Halifax 1988

    In 1988, I attended a conference in Halifax and took a few pictures as I walked around the downtown. I have created a Facebook album in which I have shared the pictures I took that weekend. You can view the album here - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1998074350365523&type=3
