I received a text from my friend Kevin Hall the other day: "Full moon setting tomorrow over Mahone Bay." I knew that this meant another Stupid O'Clock wake up call but it was too tempting to resist. In spite of freezing temperatures and a soaking wet foot it was worth it. It was especially exciting…Read more Mahone Bay Moonset

There's a picturesque little brook beside the BLT Rail Trail in Upper Tantallon. It's a beautiful place to hike, especially if you enjoy the sound of running water. I love the way the water flows around the rocks. I took some slow shutter speed images to accentuate the action - it creates nice abstract patterns…Read more Fox Hollow Brook

It was chilly but there was an offshore breeze that day so we were protected…Read more Duncan’s Cove
