He and Heather kindly acted as my 'chase car' since the wind was blowing straight down the beach....having a car to drive me back upwind was basically my dream come true. Oh, and they took photos of me too, double dream come true!
Thanks, guys!

Crescent Beach Kiteboarding
Taken almost a month ago (crazy) by my friend Dave. There was barely enough wind to get me rolling, but when has that stopped me?

Let me take you back, to a windy day in April ....
Local chargers Alladan (Allan and Dan) heading back to the car after a really, REALLY windy day (April 23 2009)
Actually, I always seem to see these guys out in gale force winds, go figger.

Luscious Lupins, Invincible Irises
I've been hunting for a nice patch of lupins to shoot, spotted this one in a fallow field in Baker Settlement:
Later this weekend, I spotted two patches of wild irises (?) in North Brookfield...or is it South Brookfield? I can never keep the two straight...
Shots didn't turn out as I had hoped, too bad I don't have mad curves/levels adjustment skillz...yet! Mostly the ones in the swamped, tried bumping up the contrast a little but...meh.

Blatant Brake Burns!
Spotted almost a month ago just outside of Lunenburg. Don't worry, these brake burns aren't going anywhere:

Orange Crush
Thanks to my dad for inspiring me to change this post's title, he's quite the wordsmith, after all..
Congrats to Pam Birdsall and the 3 other NDP candidates who SWEPT the South Shore in last night's provincial election!!!!
I have waited all my life to see the NDP win in Lun. West, let alone win provincially!
I think it's incredible that the voters of the South Shore not only elected 4 NDP candidates, but that 3 of those 4 MLA's are women!
Is this the start of a Nova Scotian renaissance? One can only hope...
For a little back story on the "sink the boat man" poster, check out this Chronicle Herald article.
Again, congrats to all NDP candidates and a big thank you for all the voters who took a leap of faith and elected Atlantic Canada's FIRST NDP government!!!
