Late Discoveries

I have continued to work on the editing of photos from our travels to the East Coast in June. As is often the case, I find photos that had not caught my attention in the first scan through the many that I took. I’m including some of those “late discoveries” today, along with some shots similar to ones I posted earlier which received a positive reaction from you.

This first picture features another hummingbird, included in response to the favourable reaction to the “oiseau mouche”, posted in “Interesting and Unusual” on July 10. This bird is more colourful, with a bright, red collar around its throat.

The next two photographs were taken on the campus of my alma mater, the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. I’ve chose a photograph of the oldest building on the campus, the “Old Arts Building”, dating back to 1827.

And, I’ve chosen a photograph of the Richard J. Currie Centre, one of UNB’s newer buildings, opened in October 2011.

As I worked my way through the numerous pictures I took on this trip, I continued to find some very pleasing ones from the day I spent on the Fundy Coast. I’m including a few “late discoveries” from that portfolio today, beginning with this cove known as Clipper Ship Beach.

This scene is from Dipper Harbour, just west of St. John. It’s a fishing centre with an active lobster fishery. This photo shows two fishing boats, moored at the government wharf at low tide. You’ll note from the waterline, the large tidal variation that occurs daily in the Bay of Fundy.

This photo was also taken at Dipper Harbour, picturing another wharf, one not so robust as the government wharf. It’s difficult to imagine mooring boats at this wharf, but the lobster pots stored nearby suggest that this area remains active. It would certainly look different at high tide, when I imagine boats can approach the shoreline to recover their pots.

I think that brings me to the end of my photographs from Eastern Canada. Watch for a change of scenery as I direct my photographic efforts to the Western Canada landscape.
