World Wide Web

There are always spiders at my in-laws' place in Nova Scotia. Well, maybe not in the dead of winter, but otherwise, always spiders. But there was one foggy, dew-drippy morning when the webs were just everywhere out back, far more than any other day on our recent trip. The morning mist clung to each web like tiny gemstones, the spiders themselves often center stage as the main setting for nature's jewelry. I like spiders. They make meals of mosquitoes. Nuff said…. :-)

Lay My Tired Body Down By These Golden Cliffs Of Yore…

With all my serious travel done for the year i should now be able to find some time to graze through my files from the summer a bit more thoroughly, hopefully in search of some elusive gold. Of course i now run into a problem quite common amongst photographers, especially since the advent of the digital age, that mountainous backlog of images that is now in dire need of attention. I had fully intended to post one complete adventure after another here before moving on to the next, but fresh back from my trip to Nova Scotia i am kinda itching to dive into that pile first before bringing my west coast journey to a close. Sorry about that, but there is just no arguing with myself.
If you know me at all you know how i feel about Nova Scotia and what absolute joy i take in photographing there. So here's a look at one of my secret places there. Well, i'm sure it's no big secret to many, but as a special place for me i would prefer to treat this subject as occult for the time being. A place where the Serpent of the Sea meets the Golden Cliffs of Yore. No need to search hard for the "gold" here, the element is self-evident. This, i think, would be as good a place as any to scatter my ashes…
