Spring Sights

Anywhere you drive in the countryside of PEI these days you will find scenes like this.  Lobster pot markers are being readied for the wharf as lobster season starts on May first. This fellow still has to put away his snowmobile.

We would walk far for a lobster on An Island Walk but we're glad we don't have to.

A fine but bizare image Mary: I would never have known what these things were for had you not said
Mary MacADNski: I showed some a couple of years ago. I took a shot of a fellow last week while he was unloading his at a wharf so may put that up too.

They all look very clean Mary.
Mary MacADNski: They're newly painted.
Nice and colourful - a foretaste of summer. There's even a hint of green in the grass again.
Mary MacADNski: Some lawns are really green already. I love your word - foretaste. Yum!
the colors are vivid, they brighten up the image a lot
Mary MacADNski: Vivid colours for sure, Chantal.

With all of those orange ones he must but Dutch lol
Mary MacADNski: Not this guy though I knew a Dutch fisherman. We have a lot of Dutch here but they are quite often farmers.
Wow - that's bright! Nice composition, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: You have to be able to see them in fog, rain, mist and bright sunshine out in the water. Here's one I posted two years ago:

I'm so looking forward to my first big lobster feast of the year. I fondly remember, many, many years ago, going with my Uncle to the Rustico wharf when the lobster fishermen would come in with their catch and paying the enormous sum of about $1.00 per lobster.

Your shot of these pot markers is a real winner with me, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Ha! It's not so cheap anymore. Here's one from two years ago. It was taken on the first time I drove my car after dislocating my shoulder and breaking my arm. A day to remember.

Like others I never would have guesses what these are Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I must put up another then and here's one from 2 years ago:

I'd no idea what these were until you said! The guy may have to drag his snowmobile due to the lack of snow now.
Mary MacADNski: I am seeing lots of these piles here and there and on wharves. They do some great colour combinations.
In the fish market, in my town I can buy lobsters from Canada. Really good.
I love the contrast of tones.
Mary MacADNski: I will get some on Mother's Day on the 9th of May. Delicious!

Mary MacADNski: I was by this spot on Tuesday. only one pile there now and no snow mobile.
