Please Do Not Adjust Your Set

A perfect sunset last evening........cool, clear and full of colour.

The photo here was taken straight out of the camera.....no editing.

In order to fit in both the crescent moon and the ocean

I tilt my camera.

I know this disturbs some people, but a guy's gotta do what he's got to do.

From My Perch

Almost tropical here yesterday.

Hazy, windy and a balmy feeling all round.

I was at 'work' (have to smile when I say 'work')

and noticed the para-surfers arriving at Stoney Beach.

Same Location, Same Holiday......Different Time

Thirty years ago this past Monday, Ron and I were at his mother's home

for Thanksgiving dinner.

She lived in their family home in Wollfville, Nova Scotia

which is located in the Annapolis Valley

 which is about 140 kms from where we live now on the Eastern Shore.

Since her death about 17 years ago, we have gone to the Wolfville area

and more often than not have eaten Thanksgiving dinner at the Evangeline Cafe and Inn.

So on Monday we continued the tradition.

Back in 1985 we used to take the train from the city to the Valley

and of course on the return trip....it's a LONG walk!!

On that particular day in '85 I took the photo of Ron, above, at the train station in Wolfville.

He was in a very pensive mood, let's say, as he was leaning against the station's brick wall.

I was across the tracks and took a series of shots unbeknownst to him.

So on Monday, 30 years later, we found ourselves at the 'train station'

 which is now a library.

I suggested we reenact that day back in 1985 (you see we have that photo

hanging in the hall at home, so it is very familiar).

I think we got the background 'almost' correct.

Wish we still had the yellow T-shirt!!

Those were the days that we cycled everywhere we had to or could.

I think the T-shirt disintegrated!

Fall Squigglies

We were at the canal in the Annapolis Valley yesterday.

The leaves are starting to turn.

I couldn't keep my eyes off the reflections.

Maybe this is how the 'impressionist painters' saw everything.

Contemplative Monday

Being thankful today.

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Canadians.

Eclectic Tastes

My brother, Dennis, sent me this tune last night....a warm-up he said

for Thanksgiving dinner at his place today!!

Yes, it's Thanksgiving weekend and I wish my Canadian friends the best!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
