What's on This Weekend?

Good weekend to get your lobster on in Blue Rocks, call for tickets.

The hot turkey supper in Canaan is always worth the drive, if only to discover 'where' Canaan is!

I haven't tried the Roast Beef supper in Blandford, but their other offerings are usually great.

Hmmm, somebody must work at Michelin



Or somebody knows somebody who can get them cheap tires?

At any rate, another shot of the carnage that are the Grimm Rd. burnouts.

Breaking: Mill cove burnout madness!!!

Mill Cove burnout, it just goes on and on and on...

Thanks to intrepid brake burn chaser, Ulo, for the video!


As promised, more seagull vs. eagle shots

These seagulls were tenacious, to say the least! They performed repeated strafing runs at the eagle's head!



Occasionally the eagle would look up, as if to say, what__the__eff?

Yes Napoleon, the eagle does have large talons..

More shots from the seagull vs. eagle session last week.

This time, a shot I snapped as the eagle took off, with a zoomed in version to boot!

Poppies!



I have inherited a nice patch of poppies in front of my house. As you can see, they are just about ready to 'asplode'

What's on This Weekend? ...and an eagle!

First, the pics! I had to do a double take when I spotted this bald eagle yesterday evening. Just hanging out...gazing at Rose Bay. Then it started getting dive bombed by sea gulls!

More pics of the aerial assault to follow, but here's a taste. The eagle is looking up at a gull out of the frame in this pic:





As far as food this weekend, what a list! It looks like it's lobster weekend, judging by the offerings on deck. Also, looks like the weekend to actually call and book tickets to these events as several warn that they routinely sell out.

Champagne brunch in Broad Cove looks intriguing. Lobster sandwiches in Petite sound delish. For those that want a bit of entertainment to accompany their vittles, check out the horse/ox pull in Lake Center...

Have a great weekend everyone!
