Fields around Debert #NovaScotia I had a wonderful experience on an after work flight with a colleague who is a pilot.
Multi coloured fall fields taken from the air. Sky and clouds on the horizon. A few vivid red blueberry fields.

Lunch hour walk in #TruroNS
Trees on the banks of a small shallow river - a concrete wall and a gate in it at the side. View from a bridge over a shallow stream, shadows of the rail and the photographer on the water. Autumn trees over a trail strewn with leaves Trail, leaves, blue skies.

I think I may have inadvertently snapped a picture of the beginning of the #AnnapolisCounty #LongLakeWildfire on Wednesday afternoon.at 5:17pm. I had been to Hampton Beach and liked the view of the field. #NS #NovaScotia #wildfire

Still lake with rocks poking out from the lake. Trees either side and on the far shore. Trees on the far shore reflected in the water. Blue sky above the lake and no clouds.

My #EndOf10 project was going well with my #LinuxMint installation but connecting to my old #NAS through #Samba is tiresome and needs more concentration than I currently have available.

In light of the #JoeBiden #prostatecancer diagnosis, please, men over 50 (or 45 in high risk groups) consider getting your #PSA checked. #cancer

I used to love The Sunday Edition on CBC which had some great documentaries. I am sure there still are some but I feel like Sunday morning radio has turned into a few hours of "trauma radio".

I am not advocating "good vibes only" but give us a break! #CBC #radio #RadioDocs

We need to focus on the concerns of the electorate, argue our case for progress, counter the lies and point out the extremism that is bubbling under the surface of the Conservative Party behind the “populist” slogans.
