A walk with my honey & I at the Bog, in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Love the fall & winter, when there's no bugs.

An easy walk on the boardwalk for us old folks.

Bonus today! The elusive & very rare "Spider Ice" was spotted.

A few 2024 pix.

I don't hike as I once did due to how Long Covid has changed my health, but still try to get out. Mother Black Bear w/3 cubs, a 2.5 year old bear cub on it's own, a bull moose & a cow moose.

All in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

A few of my fav coyote pix taken locally in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. My absolute fav animal to photograph to this day though I don't get out as much.

One has textures layered in for an artful presentation.

So I got curious....
"what do I have that I've yet to process or do anything with?"
I had a look and found this from October 2018.

So I got curious.... "what do I have that I've yet to process or do anything with?" I had a look and found this from October 2018. When the weather is kicking, it's a great time to be out but one needs to be prepapered with a good lens cloth (or two) for keeping the gear clean of salt-spray. We'll worth the effort though. 😉 Pillar Rock, La Presqu'ile, CBHNP Cape Breton Island, NS, CANADA October 16, 2018 (6:04:29pm to be exact) © Michel JS Soucy https://www.michelsoucy.ca www.youtube.com/@michelsoucy2343 #capebretonhighlandsnationalpark #blackandwhitephotography #michelsoucy #visitcapebretonisland #peace #bekind #canada

Getting set to close 1 of 2 X accts, most of my content/posts are retrieved. Wonder if this is where we're heading for FB as well? But FB involves different "connections" for various reasons which I won't get into here, but one can't help but wonder.

If you come, I'd love to make a recommendation: we went camping at Mkwesaqtuk/Cap-Rouge Campground in CBHNP--here is the aerial view:
It was GORGEOUS!

Good morning everyone,

As the winds continue to howl in our area on Cape Breton Island, it provides quality time on the computer. A few mixed pix for this mornings' post.

Cheers!
