I am so jealous, you have so many different subjects to shoot up there, got it ... for some reason the TV show Men in Trees springs to mind when ever I think of you and the island smile

Mary MacADNski: I don't have cable and get only two channels so was not familiar with the program. I just googled it and find it's set in Alaska. I'm on the east coast, on Canada's smallest province. We're famous for Anne of Green Gables and potatoes.
Here's a link from Wiki.

Looks like something from bingo or the lottery.tongue
Nice bright shot Mary very cheerfulsmile This must be because you are out taking shots againsmile
Mary MacADNski: N 40! I am cheerful about getting out. A whole new outlook.
Nice picture Mary. Anywhere there are boats always gives scope for pictures. I can see you are taking full advantage.

Louis & Ella....great
Mary MacADNski: They didn't have the boats in the water yet. They take them out because of ice. They probably are in now though. Louis and Ella - always great!

Mary, this picture shows you are back on the road and very happy to be so...I love this composition, the colors are great, I can smell the sealife...but I do love the sea too. (I have N41 and you've got the bingo grin )
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Astrid. Yes, I'm back at it. Coming home from town yesterday had me stopping on the side of the road a few times with cars whizzing by. I'm dedicating to getting some fresh photos.
