I have mosied about on your site but still it is mysterious. I imagine that you like that...and then I wonder if I am like that too - assuming everyone might know where Nova Scotia is but no - I celebrate Canada Day...I remember in my fiction writing that readers get uneasy when they don't the where of where they are - even if it is a made-up place. Ah well, I can find you I'm sure!<br />Lynda - thanks, I did and I hope I have lots of them this summer and fall. I'm also looking into a contraption for my good camera to keep it safe in waves!Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233069145523277909.post-67091411867304372932010-07-05T15:04:11.748-07:002010-07-05T15:04:11.748-07:00Looks like you had such a great day.

It was about the cheapest meat you could get. Now it's rare and expensive, but the whale-carpaccio that the serve in the restaurants in the north is delicious >:)<br /><br /><a href="http://cold-as-heaven.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Cold As Heaven </a>CA Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558100567878233142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233069145523277909.post-17557115389797574212010-07-05T06:55:41.150-07:002010-07-05T06:55:41.150-07:00What great photos...and what a fantastic day!!

The whale wouldn't be frightened by them just knew the fishing was over. My brother, who lives up North in Yellowknife, has gone kyaking in Baffin Island said they would be quite wary of narwhales because they liked to scratch their backs on the bottom of what they thought were ice flows but could be kyaks!Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233069145523277909.post-59740683010612787282010-07-05T01:02:54.272-07:002010-07-05T01:02:54.272-07:00There is something about seeing a whale - magical ...There is something about seeing a whale - magical - something soo big, and beautiful.

That would be so cool. As to the coffee - the second date I had with Mr. Man was eight years ago. We went out in his canoe (now mysteriously 'our' canoe) and he made coffee with a filter on a little rocky island like where we were yesterday! I did not experience love at first sight but that single thing certainly moved me in that direction! And I'm proud to say, my potato salad did the same to him...what can I say? we're food nuts.Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233069145523277909.post-7211007868498778812010-07-04T08:28:06.459-07:002010-07-04T08:28:06.459-07:00That is DEFINITELY a fat Saturday!

I cannot adequately express my feelings around seeing whales. 8 summers ago, when I was just starting to date SP, we went out on his birthday - in the canoe. We left early in the morning and it was very foggy. We got to a place in the bay and heard that PUUH and there we were for about an hour in the midst of a humped back mama and her calf. I did feel as if our love was being sanctified. I know that is weird and new agey but I can't help it...<br />and yesterday was like re-doing our vows...Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233069145523277909.post-16649007880097858972010-07-03T23:45:45.119-07:002010-07-03T23:45:45.119-07:00Oh, that sounds like the bestest of the best Satur...Oh, that sounds like the bestest of the best Saturdays (any day!) ever!!! The whale definitely made me go "squeeeeeee!", I could smell that coffee (I agree - it tastes way better when made outside) and I loved the pictures even if they were taken with the point&shoot. <br /><br />May we all have many, many days like this! :)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.com
