Spring in the Sugarbush near Harrowsmith, Ontario
The sap is running and the first boil is underway under sunny skies deep in the woods (photos taken with an ipod touch).
Collecting sap the old fashioned way.

Fort Myers Beach, Fla
Have been taking limited photos. Decided to simply register most of what I see in my own minds eye. Here are a few pics but I must admit that they do not amount to much other than regular touristy replicas.

New Brunswick, Canada
Aug 2012 Deer Island NB, Canada
Spent one week here kayaking and walking on the beaches. Very cold salt water here in the Bay of Fundy that is not welcoming for swimmers. The tides here rip violently during the transition between the flood and the ebb tides (and vice versa) however the tides are spectacular as they rise a vertical 28 feet on the flood and then retreat the same distance on the ebb every 12 hours.
There is a free ferry from the mainland near Back Bay that takes about 20 min to cross. The ferry runs every 30 min until evening when the trips are on the hour. The ferry ties up at 11 pm and there is no exiting the island until the next morning. The Atlantic side of the island is much cooler than the Passamaquoddy Bay side of the island. Often there can be fog on the Atlantic side and sun on the back(Passamaquoddy) side. Many tourists use Deer Island as a day excursion on their way to or from the USA.
Many mainlanders come to the island to get away from the inland humidity for the day. Bring a picnic basket and head to Deer Island point for a lovely afternoon. If you arrive on NB Day long weekend you can take part in the annual gargae sale of books, clothes and an assortment of trinkets at "the point" on Sunday. If you forgot a picnic basket you can buy lobster rolls and hot dogs in support of the sale.
The squid came into the wharf at Lord's Cove when we were there and so we went squid jigging after dark. The newly transplanted islanders from the Phillipines taught us the technique of catching and releasing the squid with no squid touching involved. The preferred cooking technique is deep fried.
