A series of shots from Parlee Beach
I thought it would be an idea to show what type of nature shots I take

Taken June 21, 2013 in London - I am now officially conscious that I take these photos and am less likely to miss an opportunity. My first one with an assistant!
Quebec Photographers at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art
I went to see this show while my wife was acting as an "stationed" guide at the exhibit. The museum started its photography collection with 1500 photos from the 1970s forward.from 11 photographers. A sample of 150 of those images is on display now and is well worth the visit.
Killing Time Waiting at the Moncton Airport
My daughter was flying standby and we needed to wait to see if she got on the flight, so that she would have a lift back if she didn't. The flight was delayed and she missed getting on by one person.
I took 79 photos while waiting ( it would have driven me nuts in the days I didn't have a camera) and I have included a sample of them

My sister-in-laws's fence
my sister-in-law owns a church in New Brunswick that my daughter had never seen before, so we drove down from Shediac to visit it.
I have taken a series of photos over the years of this fence, (although these are all from this year) and found it funny when she said she had to build it to keep something either in or out of her yard- it hasn't been able to do that as far as I can remember seeing.
Moncton Flea Market
we visited a flea market in Moncton - from outside we were very disappointed at having gone all the way there - but were very pleasantly surprised when we entered the building - a couple of my photos from inside
Somehow I don't think it really is open
I have been trying to go on a Sunday morning photoshoot in different parts of town. One thing I have noticed is how many places are cl;osed or for rent. Is it the result of the big box stores?
Useless Door #155 ( I guess this guy hasn't been following my blog)
This door actually is trying to be sold!

Telephone Booths in London
in much the same way as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is difficult not to take these while in London
Manoir de la Marefontaine -our B&B in Normandy
a few photos of the B&B where we stayed in Normandy.
It was a beautifully restored 12 and 14th century estate.

Couches as collectibles
I was a bit surprised when I saw this little couch in an antique store window; but absolutely amazed whwn I saw the ones below in the gift shop at Centre Pompidou. The prices range from 229 to 400 euros ($311 to $540 Canadian) I passed.

Couches as Decorative Arts
My wife is in the process of becoming a guide at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and has been working on a decorative arts tour. While we were in Paris we visited the decorative arts section and I came across these couches. Little did I know that all the couches being thrown out may have been able to have a place in a museum!

Mont St Michel
A couple of traditional views of the landmark. They say the best photos are by someone who lives where they are taking their photos, and although I like these, there was an exhibit of photographs of Mont St Michel throughout the seasons, at night and in different weather conditions which was very well done and quite illuminating on this concept.
