Fall harvest was well under way when I spent a day in the Amherst area looking for possible images to catch my eye. This farm was near the commuity of Nappan, Cumberland County.
This is one of my three Clematis that I have in my garden. As you can see it did very well this fall.
Blue Sea Beach in Malagash. I going swimming there with Fergus my dog 4 times a week. Great for a long walk on a beach any time of year. Photo opportunities are always available.
Blue Herons are always looking for a meal. On average I take about 45 photos that make the cut out of the several hundred that I capture each season.
This Photo was taken in River John
Pugwash was dealing with the Aftermath of Fionna when I captured this image.
The Pileated Woodpecker is always Perfect for Photos. In this case two of them were very busy having Lunch on the Sand Point Road in Tatamagouche when I took their picture.
I have many friends on the farms of Colchester and Cumberland Counties. My Buddy here lives near River John with a small herd of Highland Cattle.
7 am on a Sunday Morning in River John. Every Sunday between 7am and 10 I go looking for Photo Opportunities.
If I can’t find a landscape than a Car lost in the woods will do.

The snow arrived every weekend but instead of leaving by Monday it turned to ice and then came back the next weekend. Bottom line, by March the snow was higher than my back fence and the deck had a solid foundation of Ice that only left last week.
Despite the in climate weather I managed to take photos once the streets were ploughed then I could get on the road again.
Every day despite the snow and wind the local gathering of Crows and Ravens visit the woods behind my house.
Some birds are bigger than others. This one and his mates can be seen in Wallace on most days near the water.
Just before the ice froze in Wallace Bay this cormorant and his travelling companions were taking advantage of a last meal in Cumberland County before migrating South for the winter.
Fleming Park in Halifax on a quiet but cool day in early December.

Ferguson Brook and The Waughs River in March, the ice was breaking.
Grand Pre on a very windy and cold day in late December. I was the only visitor that morning.
Middle Cove near Peggy’s Cove. I stopped for a Picnic Lunch on a cool day. It is always a pleasure to visit the small communities in our Province where fishing for a Good Living was once possible.

I never pass up an opportunity to take a photo of a Highland Cow. They are Wild, Majestic and in most cases they are very willing to have a chat over the fence.
On this occasion it was minus 12 with the snow blowing from every direction.
Pictou County on a very pleasant morning. There were approximately 35 Eagles of various ages feeding in a farmer’s field.
A very cold early morning at Brule Point looking towards Cape John. With the Wind Chill it was close to minus 20.
I took this photo last June at Peggy’s Cove. I have managed to improve both my Editing Software and some new skills. It is treat to go back and reedit older photos from my Photo files.

I have Plans for 2021 that will involve my Blog www.waughsriver .com
I have every Photo negative, slide or digital phot file since my move England in 1969.
Unfortunately the photos that I took in the early sixties were lost. They included photos of many of the Popular Musicians of that decade who went on to international fame.
C’est La Vie, Life goes on.
On a more positive I have chosen 50 of my favorite photo images and hopefully my book
50 Years, 50 Photos, 50 Comments
will printed by Spring.
I will keep you posted.

Quiet Farm not far from my home. I cannot resist capturing these images. It is a pity that Life on the Farm has changed. I remember my Grandmother’s small farm in Cape Breton and my own in Scotland some 45 years ago. A great way of Life but hard to make a living.
Barrachois Harbour always provides a Landscape to capture.
Reflection makes a great Image but also reminds us that Reflection is a good habit as well.
Beaver Pond near Caribou Island. The Clouds that day were the attraction.
Fall Colors on The Island Road, Malagash.
Old and very small. House near River John
