Not a crabby crab. Note that smile. Also, have yourself a far better than expected Monday, despite the daily outrage news feed. #photography #crabs

Charming youngsters at a wedding in Nova Scotia, with sunlight on the bay and a couple of trash cans to add that sense of reality-grit that happens when someone asks me to take informal candids of the proceedings ;-) #blackandwhite

It's more than the solar kiss of daylight's surrender, but also the peace of wide open landscapes. If I could bottle that and pour it into my camera, I'd likely need a new Nikon. #photography #peaceful #eveninglight #livestock #farmland

A timely spotlight kisses Canadian Shield shoreline in the Parry Sound region during my favourite season, and I click-freeze the moment. That was ten years ago. Photography is a most impressive and magical human invention, yes? Yay for memory preservation devices! #autumn #canada #trees #nature

Despite the daily outrage news, there are many thumbs up moments in life. This was one of them, as a Cirque du Soleil member did some delightful street improv. (a low resolution oldie from my Toronto archives, just for the smiles in it) #streetphotography #joy #happymoments

Does your mind live in the mortality of your vessel, or do you borrow it from the cosmos? Is there a responsibility to feed your mind? Does true freedom allow you to squander it? Most importantly, does a mannequin breast require an "adult" label on this platform? #photography #mannequins #monochrome

There are many reasons to give utmost respect to farmers, not the least of which is the sheer cost of machinery they must purchase to do their work. #photography #farming #ontario #canada

On one of several flights to Nova Scotia on a Bombardier Q400 airplane, via Porter airlines, I spied the plane framed within a glory. Trump is banning Bombardier from the American market even though 3,000 Americans are directly employed by the company IN the USA, and thousands more indirectly. #duh

After snapping a pic of Sid the Cicada's face (see previous post), it seemed logical to get the full body view with all that sunlit bling buzz, just because. Then, naturally, Sid on my wife's hand. Happy Labour Day to Cicadas everywhere! #photography #cicadas #insects
