Volunteer work for the Mission to Seafarers

Fairfield Cargo dock, Halifax

We approach the AFL

On our way to the AFL, a ship out of business in the middle of Bedford Basin, with supplies.



Some of the AFL crew wave goodbye, their future very uncertain.

Salmon fishing on the Miramishi River ... I hear banjos

Our bush 'camp'.
Lou cooks deer and moose stew - serious!
Dan and guide Tom admire the work
of some busy beavers.


52 years a guide, illiterate, heart of gold, knew every stone on the river
.... just couldn't find Dan a fish in 3 days.


MASKWA TRAINING

Kearney Lake - minus the ice
The masters war canoe team at Saturday morning training. I'm the photographer.

In she goes.




Ready to rock n roll.

THE EASTER HUNT IN BIRDLAND

The masses gathered ready for the reaping

The invasion starts on Bobolink Street

An Easter break

Hugh Heffner rejected this little bunny

Their expressions defy their euphoria!

MAPLE SYRUP FARM VISIT

Maple toffee.


Direct feeder lines from trees to the refinery
Red Riding Hood was about to get a visitor.

Aunty Jane's weekend visit


 
 

 
Our day at Peggy's Cove with AJ. She was here for a fleeting weekend but managed to squeeze in a hockey game and a second trip to the coast on the Sunday. She met the boys after school who both ran with huge smiles to greet her.

Fantastic to have a visitor and another Aussie accent!
