The Moose in Algonquin Park


We came within almost paddle reach


An old, strong Moose...in rut..
so you had better be careful.


What can I tell you....
Our hearts beat in our throats.


This time of the year it is best to be careful.
It is "rutting-season" and the bulls do not like to be bothered.
They have a one track mind: "I love that cow"!!!
and I want these people in their stupid canoe to leave.

Simply more Whales


With her left fin she waves to us as in a greeting.


...some more tail fin action



the image below:
The greatest disappointment:
The Whale "breached"...meaning she rose from the water,
her whole body arching in the air. With a mighty splash
she came back down.
I WAS TOO SLOW;
ALL I CAN SHOW YOU IS THE SPLASH.
PITTY.!!!

Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada


The famous light house in Peggy's Cove.


a lonesome visitor to a forbidding rock formation


Peggy's Cove
Today, as in days gone by, the men and women
of this village
make their living through fishing.
Today, however, they have added
"Tourism" as a source of income.


There are, by latest count, exactly 35 year round
inhabitants in this picturesque village.
