Autumn colors seem to be holding back a bit around the mountains this year. I captured this pic at the Hermitage in the Codroy Valley a few days back when a man there gave us permission to cross the land and explore along the River.Temperature here today is around +20 today and i'm sure we'll get some great autumn colors soon. A few more pics from that day below.

She had quite a bit of fun with a dog who must belong to the caretakers of the Hermitage.












Scenes along the Codroy River.

Haunting face crying a river of tears as glacier melts into the sea.

Interesting shot so i had to post this one today. I'm sure it'll be used by Environmentalist groups soon enough. Maybe Mother Nature intended them to use it. I suppose the religious crowd will be using it also.

 Autumn has arrived.

Looks like were finally seeing a change of colours here on the Southwest Coast.

Hopefully i'll be able to get a few shots before it's all gone.

Kodak Z980

Recently purchased a Kodak Z980 and took it out for a trial run yesterday. I must say the Reviews i read on it before i purchased it where spot on! One of the cons i noticed almost immediately was that the lens cap does tend to fall off when it touches up against something. The zoom lens (a 24 X) was the feature i was really interested in mostly and i was not disappointed when i did try it out. The second shutter button to capture portrait photos also surprised me with how quickly it was to switch back and forth. The 12 MP will be great in cropping the zoomed in images i'll be capturing of wildlife when i visit Grose Morne again in the future.

Example of the zoom from yesterday. images are scaled down to 4 inches and a 200 resolution for photobucket.

Nan's Apples.

Over the years we have seen people make an annual migration from Cape Ray to the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia to seek emplyment in the Apple Orchards there. A few of the workers bought back a few small Apple Trees and sold them to the residents of the community and now we have many back yard Apple Trees such as this. Soon the ones on this Tree will be made into Apple Pies or blended in with local Partridgeberries to make some great jam.

After seeing Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards i just had to do this. So

Why do i always cheer for the Underdog? Mark Wilson may just be that, but i sure wish i was a resident of St. Johns, i would be volunteering a bit of my time at 16 Duckworth Street helping him out with his quest to be Mayor. Good luck Mr. Wilson.

My thoughts for today on a place i frequented for years.
