This photograph was made on December 28th, 2010 in Havana. Sometimes you get a photo where you know as soon as you press the shutter that you have something special. The poster in the window of the store is in celebration of 51 years of Fidel Castro's rule since the revolution. The man in the photograph looks anything but happy or celebratory. When I saw this picture, I couldn't get my camera up fast enough, worrying that the man would move and I would miss it. Sometimes, you're just in the right place at the right time.

As Christmas approaches, we took a drive to Napanee last evening. They have, for the third year, transformed the main street into a show of lights that not many places even attempt. They also have a nice park area along the river where they have several displays depicting Santa and other characters and other Christmas forms. I was very impressed with it. If you live anywhere near Napanee, make sure you get there and stroll the street and take in the colourful displays.

In 2009 we journeyed to Newfoundland for a few days. What a wonderful place that is! We only explored the western area in and near Gros Morne National Park, but what beauty we found! This image was from near Woody Point.

Sometimes I find myself going through older photos from years ago. I guess that why we collect them in the first place, right? This one is from 2008, but still grabs my interest because of the strong foreground. Gotta love that fog.

On July 1, 2014, Hurricane Arthur came ashore in Nova Scotia. At first, we thought our area was going to take a direct hit, but Arthur tracked to the west a little and hit the Fundy side and eastern New Brunswick the hardest. Our area, in north eastern Nova Scotia was relatively unscathed by the storm compared to some. Almost 300,000 homes were left without power in the Canadian maritimes.
