Spring mackerel run 2011

Evening mackerel action at a local wharf. The spring/summer run is happening!

This crew of fishers was spotted on a recent foggy evening.

The sun lit up the fog like a huge lightbox. I did a bit of a levels adjustment to make them silhouetted. More mackerel pictures to follow...

Shot from the car last weekend, as we toured the French Shore. Or, as we described the trip...Bridgetown, by way of Yarmouth. ^_^ What a weekend!!!

Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper 2011

I've been seeing some hits on the 'ole blog, looking for the date of this year's planked salmon supper in Greenfield.

Looks like it's July 30th, judging by this post on Destination Southwest Nova's site.

Check out my review of this supper, back in 2007. I would be shocked if anything has changed...

Steeerike!

I'm not sure why I like this nondescript bowling alley...but I do.

Tools of the trade

Spotted on the road to West Pubnico on a glorious, sunny Saturday!

What's on this weekend? Canada's birthday! Lots of food events too!

Phew, I'm worn out from typing up this very large list of events... It's going to be a great weekend weather and events wise...have a great one, everybody!
