Here’s looking at you!  I spoke to the Halifax Camera Club tonight, what a nice group of people, thanks my new friends for a warm welcome to Nova Scotia.  We finished up in the PEI today and found a few interesting things, not the least of which was a juvenile red fox that was very habituated to humans!  I suspect he has been getting free meals from the tourists at our last lighthouse stop!  He posed for half band hour!!!  We also found a unique tree decorated with lobster floats, the two shots below came from that road side stop!

 

 

At the lighthouse I found a bright red dingy and that was worth a stop!

 

 

The lighthouse was in pretty harsh light. but was the only round, wooden lighthouse on Prince Edward Island so you got to try anyway!

 

 

 

We start our Nova Scotia Tour in the morning, I’ll keep you posted!

Any day that ends like this is a great day!!!  The rain blew out and we had a blue sky puffy cloud day which worked well for boats and light houses!  Our last stop was one of the best sunset Ive seen in along, long time!  Really enjoying this side trip and anxious to join our group tomorrow night to start our exploration of Nova Scotia!  Here are some of my favorites from day two!

 

 

So another day in a beautiful place!  More soon!

After a day of rain, mist and cold wind, (which still allowed some great shooting) we were rewarded with clearing skies and a nice sunset!  Today was a chance to prove that even when conditions are awful you can find wonderful subject that can work under those conditions!  Here are some of my favorites from today.

 

 

Maybe wet, and maybe cold, but happy campers!!!

I would never go to the airport, any airport to get a great meal, especially a great burger!!!!!  I stand corrected!  Jim and I had a two hour lay over, and an hour on the plane on the way to Halifax today. I spotted a Shake Shack, (one of my very favorite chain burgers in all the land!)  Of course this is JFK airport and the chances it would be anything like the ones from down in New York City was slim and none, right?  Nope, Lydia Gonzalez, manager and fry cook, Kaheem Evans served up a 5.1 pickle scale killer burger, I mean one of the very best I’ve ever tasted, and you guys know I’ve tasted a few!  Actually thousands!!!

 

Seriously this was one for the ages, perfectly fried, juicy, made to my absolute best specifications!  I only hope that Sunday a week they will be frying when we slide back through JFK on the way home, even if they are not, great job guys!  Join the Burger Hall of Fame, as of this evening you are the number one burger in America!  Check on the Cheeseburgers in Paradise blog !

 

Thanks too for starting our tour off with such  great meal!!!!
