It's always sad to see summer fade into history, but fortunately we can look forward to the fall season when mother nature paints virtually every hillside in Nova Scotia in a myriad of brilliant colours.
Yes! I know the skeptics among you are thinking that when fall comes, winter is not far behind. I'm not ashamed to say I like winter because it offers a whole new field of photographic possibilities. But more about that later.
Summer this year started out wet and the dampness persisted throughout much of July and into early August, but that didn't stop me from taking pictures. In previous blogs I've shown you groups of photos with little stories attached. Now I'd like to share some of the random shots that I've added to my collection this summer. Enjoy!
The Atlantic Jazz Festival is Nova Scotia mainland's answer to Cape Breton's Celtic Colours with a nine-day feast of fine indoor and outdoor jazz in mid July.
The Parade of Sail was one of the featured events of the summer as tall ships from around the world paraded in Halifax and visited many ports in the province.
Who doesn't like a good fireworks display? There are plenty of them to take in around the province during the summer. This one shows the Halifax/Dartmouth Natal Day fireworks.
If you like artwork with lots of colour, the annual Folk Art Festival in Lunenburg should definitely be put on your wish list.
The joint was definitely jumping when buskers took over the Halifax waterfront during the annual Buskers Festival.
The ladies team at the Wedgeport International Tuna Tournament was a force with which to be reckoned. The two bluefin tuna they brought ashore gave them second place in the total weight category for the second year in a row.
It seems like everybody in Wedgeport turned out to see and photograph teams during the weigh-in at the end of the Tuna Tournament.
After a good rain, the waters of the East River in Sheet Harbour turn angry as they boil out from under the highway bridge and make their wayover a series of rapids into the harbour .
That's it for now. I'll have more summer photos to share in future blogs.
