Typical scene at the pumps...during lobster season

Sometimes, it's just easier to pull right up to the pumps! I think this guy was just filling a jerry can, but you get the idea.

Mount Pleasant/Huey Lake Road, also known as..

Anyone who has ventured down this mogul run, masquerading as a 'road' knows that this homemade protest road sign is sadly, correct.

Gary Ramey, PAVE THIS ROAD! You used it as an example of poor roads during your campaign, I seen you in to the paypuh an erryding.

Dark sense of forboding

This picture (shot last Saturday on the Lahave River) sums up the collective cloud of melancholy that is hanging over myself and my friends after last night's election results.

ALL HAIL EMPEROR PALPATINE! ...err, I mean Harper.

To paraphrase the Bhagavad Gītā, "Now, he is become death, the destroyer of Canada."

Spring means....Fat buds!

I spotted lots of fat Chestnut buds this weekend, swollen and ready to explode!

Gotta clear out the '10's to make room for the '11's

Spotted this nice stack of firewood last weekend. I love the weathered, grey wood from last year and the fresh look of the recently split and stacked wood beside it.
