Home and Shrubbery: Forsythia & Flowering Quince

Spotted on the Mason's Beach Rd, just outside of Lunenburg.  Loving all the flowering quince bushes that are starting to bloom!

There's critters in them thar hills...and ditches

I spotted these muddy footprints crossing the road the other day.  Looks like this lil' critter managed to cross the road without getting hit....this time.

Backyard Birding: Song Sparrow

I'm really enjoying bird watching lately.  I often sit in the car and shoot birds at the feeder, or in this case, in a brush pile.  


Next challenge will be to get some shots of the elusive Rose Breasted Grosbeaks that have visited our feeder!

Home & Shrubbery

The first in what I hope will be a recurring series on the 'ole blog. 


I'm loving all the spring time blossoms, and turns out....so do a lot of home owners in the area. 


Big or small, modest or fancy, seems like everyone has at least one flowering shrub in their yard. Long live Spring!

What's on This Weekend? Lotsa Breakfasts...and Roast Beef!!

Community Outreach

A common scene at the local skate park, cops talking to the kids.  Hopefully this is just a 'stern talking to' and not getting a summons for not wearing a helmet.

I'd rather see kids out there being active, helmet or no helmet...instead of being indoors. 

Rosy Bay Sunset

Shot last Wednesday, what a sunset!
