Summertime - Busytime


Just returned from a quick two day trip to Halifax, pictured above. Unbelievably, I did not use my camera once on the other side but got these quick shots from Dartmouth this morning. I accompanied my daughter and her best friend at the last minute and was so glad that I did so. I visited my friend who is in hospital there for most of yesterday and went to a Pride-sponsored one-woman play last night with my best friend who lives there and her long term (over 20 years) partner. I stayed with them and so did the girls after their accommodation plans fell through. I had a wonderful time partly for the spontaneity but mostly for the time spent with dear friends and family. There's nothing like it.

Also from the music pile today are a couple of songs from the outstanding Patty Griffin. A couple of songs that remind me of the trip are You Are Not Alone and Long Ride Home.

Wow! Halifax has changed since I visited it over 30 years ago! Interesting skyline.

It has definitely grown. Supposedly it is the site of Canada's next boom. It is a fun city. Lots to do.

I love the photo. Great composition-- with the angler in the foreground and big city in the background. Also enjoyed the link of the one year in 40 seconds. Very cool.

Nan, I loved that one year video too. Someone just suggested such a thing for the house shot posted today on my Shutterchance Blog. Thanks for the compliment on the photo as the building tops were cut off in each shot as I was walking a dog who was pulling every time I tried to shoot.
