Photo of the Week 2016-07-25

My photographic activities of the last week were limited. Other than making some group photos at the Clark family BBQ we hosted at home on the weekend, for the most part we were busy in getting the gardens and yard ready for the event ...

... but when the crew were gone and things all cleaned up, I began yet another session of reviewing my image library searching for candidates suitable for a possible project (detail later if it works out) . I've written on the blog at least once before about how  going back through the years of images brings back many memories and details of places I've been and the times I've spent on my photographic journey.

This time I came across some images made in Terra Nova National Park where we made a brief stop on our Newfoundland trip in 2011. We were on our way to Twillingate and pulled off the Trans Canada Highway at a park entrance to stretch our legs and explore ...

Terra Nova Shore

... and I can check off one more of Canada's National Parks.

“Life consists with wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him.” 
- Henry David Thoreau, Walking

sanctum natura

... too long without a walk in the woods and an uneasiness sets in. For me, the remedy is simple ... fresh morning air, a trail, the sights, sounds and smells of the forest.

I always wonder what I'm missing at sunset when I'm not at the cottage ...

We stayed home this weekend to get a backlog of things done around the house ... between projects, my mind wandered ...

We were at the cottage again this year for Canada Day and by some accounts (business owners in Tobermory) this year it was busier than any previous year. That's why we make sure we are well stocked with provisions and tend to avoid the insanity that Tobermory has become on long weekends ... that is, all except for the July 1 fireworks. We have to go see the fireworks and Celebrate Canada Day.

Tobermory Celebrates - Canada Day 2016

This year again, we invited friends to come and join us for a few days while we were on vacation and again it was a great time. Good friends, good times, good celebrations, Great Country!

HAPPY CANADA DAY

PS - did you know that the sun sets later in Tobermory than in Guelph? Tobermory is just over a 3 hour drive north, and just above the 45th parallel, 1.7* and roughly 250 km north of Guelph and according to Environment Canada's weather service, this time of year, sunsets 7 minutes later in Tobermory. The image above was made at 10:17 pm and you can still see traces of the sunset on the horizon, nautical twilight.
