Wandering on Lunenburg's waterfront
Lots of interesting stuff to shoot down by harbour in Lunenburg, here's a glimpse:
Ah, textures...I can almost feel the little rope 'splinters' in my hands just by looking at this pic...
Had to use my head to cut out the glare from the window so I could shoot inside the Dory Shop
The new cable on this ancient winch was the only clue that it's still in operation. I guess if it ain't broke....
This boat was covered in various wood patches and numerous coats of paint. It was named 'Respect', so no snickering....

Even more Chester skatepark shots...
Still digging through the rest of the shots I took a couple weeks ago at the skatepark:
I like the way the sun hit this guy's helmet.
Too bad you can see my shadow in the shot, though I like the out of focus coping in the foreground...
Check out these other skate park shots taken by my friends...

Maitland Baked Bean Supper Review
Like a warm snuggie on a cold afternoon, this supper is pure comfort!
It was a cloudy afternoon, but luckily the rain held off so we didn't have to get wet running from the parking lot to the hall. No mad lineups at this supper, those folks in First South are missing out....
We were greeted at the door with:
"Oh, I remember you guys..."
I guess we are slowly becoming regulars at this supper!
I had to take some pictures of this empty table before it filled up with diners. I got a couple strange looks while I was taking the shots, nothing new there. Note all the matching plates and cups on the table in the following shots:
As always, the 'table cakes' were in attendance. We were seated beside a scrumptious looking carrot cake. Oh, temptation loomed....
Before too long our server took our order, usually they start with a single question:
"The works?"
To which I always answer:
"Yes please!"
The works consisted of the usual fare: a weiner broiled to perfection, awesome baked beans and scalloped potatoes and ham instead of a chicken drumstick. See for yourself:
Not to be left out, there were copious amounts of salads on the table to enjoy as well. The ever popular broccoli and sauerkraut salads, pickled beets, bread and butter pickles, cole slaw, an interesting rice salad that was being elusive further down the table and big honkin' bowls of potato salad:
As we filled our hungry bellies with good food, we had a few laughs, but mostly our attention was focussed on the food. A sure sign of a good meal!
Several slices of sweet brown molasses bread later, it was time for dessert. I skipped the table cake and went straight for the home made custard pie. It was delecate and delicious as expected. No shortage of choices of both pies and cakes, it paid to show up relatively early!
As always, it's worth the drive to Maitland!

What's on This Weekend?
Oooh, tough call this weekend, lots going on!
I'd suggest hitting the Daffodil Tea in Petite Riviere AND the baked bean supper in Maitland! If want to go for a drive, the roast beef supper in Canaan is usually great.
Have fun, folks!
