AWESOME hike at Whycocomagh Provincial park (Cape Breton Island). Steep trails, amazing views, and I had the trails completely to myself.

Gorgeous day for hiking on Cape Breton Island. I’ll likely be here into early-mid October.

Egypt Falls, Cape Breton Island. The hike down to the falls was easy! The hike up with a backpack full of lenses, a camera, spare batteries, and a tripod...not so much. It's a very photogenic fall.

So, we had a sunset on the west coast of Cape Breton Island. The view opposite the Sun was spectacular

For 3 seasons, I could move back to Cape Breton Island. In a heartbeat.

So, ummm…the iPhone can take decent shots if you treat it like a camera and ensure your white-balance etc. are correct.
The brand-new-in-box monitor I took with me died yesterday, so no images from my camera. Working on a loaner. Oh. I accidentally smashed my polarizing filter yesterday…

If I was a tree, this is what I imagine I’d look like tumbling into the water. Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton Island.

The last thing I tossed in my backpack before the trip was a monitor calibrator. I ran the calibration process this AM on the 24" display I hauled with me, and what a difference. Colours now closely match from monitor to phone to iPad etc.

This field of wildflowers and grasses is the location of my old school where I went for the the 1st through 12th grades. It was a temple of bigotry, bullying, and abuse. I only regret not being the one operating the heavy machinery that tore it down. Returning the land to its natural state is lovely

I made it home, another 11 hours behind the wheel. It’s great to be back in NS again. Mom is doing well, and motivated to work with her physiotherapist.
Here’s one of her 2 cats. Both are sticking to me like Velcro, which is fine. Note the l’il vampire fangs on this one. I’m getting him bat wings
