‘George’s Forest Dream’-2017, 40″x40″
My Dog “George” thinks he owns this forest!
He carefully sniffs and dispenses his “social media communications” on all his carefully selected spots. He carefully analyses everything through his nose. I’m convinced he’s primarily a nose attached to a brain… Like any dog; if you don’t distract him from his nose, you won’t get his attention.
How do dogs dream?
I’ll take a shot at it; here’s George having an “out of body, experience”…

Prince Edward Island is famous for its’ red soil and beaches.
The North Cape is hauntingly beautiful; when you’re there… there’s nothing else.

This is what happens when you start shooting before morning coffee!
Nothing is straight and the colour isn’t right…
Being at one… with sea, rocks and sky at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia.

In Peggy’s Cove, how can you choose which way to point your camera?
No image, is as good as being there… here’s my glimpse of the harbour.
‘Peggy’s Lighthouse Study #2’

Peggy’s Lighthouse Study #2-2017, 45″x 45″
It’s been a struggle to find solitude with this formerly, lonely beacon…
Although combed by relentless waves of tour buses and RVs in the summer; this structure was a lonely lifesaver for countless mariners and still serves. Many a shaken fisherman made it home to their families, thanks to this beautiful, lonely structure.
I don’t know how many lives it’s saved… but it’s a huge number.
Hats off; to those who built her and stood watch… in Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia.

This is my take on this iconic tourist attraction; Peggy’s Cove, in Nova Scotia.
I arrived early to avoid the tourist buses and the Photoshop work I’d have to do, to remove them from my scene. The sky was beautiful so I decided to highlight it, in this piece.
More takes on this subject coming soon… I’ve been on the East Coast shooting, for the last few weeks…
