Sept. 27, 2015 - "Fun" Photos

Here’s the last set of photos from our June, 2015, trip to coastal Maine and Prince Edward Island. These are my “fun” photos from the trip.

This driftwood sculpture was on the lawn at The Pearl Restaurant in Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island.

Lobster fishing is big business along the coast of Maine. This truck is pulling a load of lobster traps in Lubec, Maine.

Today’s digital cameras allow the photographer to take a burst of shots by just holding down the shutter button. My camera can take up to 6 frames per second. When a pair of Double-crested Cormorants flew over at Prince Edward Island National Park, I held the shutter button down hoping to get at least one good shot out of that series. When I looked at these 10 consecutive photos, I was amazed at the similarity of the wing positions of both birds in each shot. It looked like a synchronized flight performance.

The coastline of Prince Edward Island is composed of red sandstone cliffs. As a result, there are lots of these small red rocks along the shore. Someone let their artistic side show when they built this structure out of those red rocks.

There is a wind turbine project at North Cape on Price Edward Island. Part of their mission is to educate people about wind power. They display one of the blades from their large wind turbines so you can see how long they are. To give you some perspective on this blade, you can barely see Diana near the middle of the photo with her arms stretched out.

It became apparent that this Red Fox is quite used to people. It was sitting right along the road at Prince Edward Island National Park. Unfortunately, that probably means people feed it. That’s not a good idea because it puts the animal in danger of being hit by a passing car. However, I did get a cute picture of it.
