Still having some difficulty with the after effects from Chemo but I do get out a bit more often. I enjoy hiking and catching a few rabbits at times.

DJ3 Practice



Starting to get out more now after my side effects from the Cancer has slowly weaned off somewhat. A Drone was gifted to me last year by an American friend and I have been trying to use it but my fingers are giving me a bit of trouble. With practice I should be able to use it good enough,so by mid June I will go and see if I can shoot a few Iceberg Videos.

The Phantom DJ3 Advanced seems to be a great Quad Copter.

3 Months after Chemo and still not sure if I'm Cancer free. Side effects of the Chemo still lingers but I am starting to get out more. A little Video I made from a morning where we participated in the Recreational Fishery here.

Today was my last Chemo. Still 40% chance of it returning but i'll think positive about the 60% chance of it not returning. I have so many side effects but hope the majority of them will be gone by July so we can get out and enjoy life again.

Just a quick blog to let people know why I'm not active here lately. Diagnosed with Stage 2 Colon Cancer,had surgery and now doing Chemo.  Round 3 of 12 just completed.

A few years back when we found out that Cape Ray would be part of the Maritime Link to run Sub-sea Cables across the Cabot Strait my Granddaughter and I climbed a mountain here to look at the Landscape before it changed. That Maritime Link will connect our Island to Nova Scotia and to the North American Power Grid.


The changes to our Landscape will not be as drastic to what the people of Labrador has seen with theirs but it will not be pretty. We'll climb that Mountain again this spring and shoot a few more photos because the right of way for the Transmission Towers are almost completed.

Billions of Dollars will be spent on that Project and my Granddaughters Generation will be the ones picking up the Bill. Only time will tell if it was a good decision or not.

Just one of the Washouts on Route 408,Cape Ray. It'll probably be repaired after a School Bus or some poor unsuspecting Motorist tumbles in it.

The snow seems to continue this winter in Cape Ray. I cleared my Driveway just 12 hours prior to this and by midnight I suspect it'll will have to be done again. A Video from this afternoon (Brother Inlaw in the pic and video clearing the snow) ,,,,, Click on Photo to open.

Update on the injured Snowy Owl. It has arrived in St. Johns on an EPA Flight and probably now at Salmonier Nature Park. (Photoshopped Owls in a photo of the Cape Ray Lighthouse area.)

Marilyn & Michelle Osmond hold an injured Snowy Owl waiting for Wildlife Services to pick it up.

With all the Snowy Owl sightings in Cape Ray this year it was not unreasonable to think they all would survive. At least this one might get a second chance at Salmonier Nature Park.
Gulf Newspaper Story on the rescue here.

Sightings of snowy owls have become common in Cape Ray, but stumbling upon and capturing an injured one is really rare.


Charlie Osmond holds this Snowy Owl that he and his wife found on Norwest Cove Beach on Jan. 17. The couple could tell it was injured, and so brought it to safety. The conservation office was called and the owl was transported to the Salmonier Nature Park in St. John’s for rehabilitation.
