Here are a few odds and ends from our trip.

You might note that one of the "sea things" had a little help from man. These were on the beach at Grand Manon Island.

There's one blog yet to come -- the restoration of Cass, the old lumber / railroad town in West Virginia.

The Canadians called these "bush berries" but I wonder that else they're called. Anyone know? They were all over the place and some trees were just full of these berry bunches.

This lady was going from table to table making amazing balloon creations -- as you can see from the next photo.

We kept searching the roads for wandering lobsters but didnt find a single one. Too bad. They're expensive even in lobster trapping areas.

We ran across this at the car museum around Acadio Nat'l Park. I bet they don't come across too many unattended children there . . .

This is the kind of scene I run into now and then, pure serendipity, that warms my photographer's heart.

bush berries
I believe that is a photo of Sorbus americana, or American mountain ash, a native tree that grows in boggy areas as well as on top of mountains

"bush berries"
The "bush berries" look like mountain ash to me. Plentiful and pretty in the fall.
