🇨🇦 🇨🇦 Just a quiet old fellow living in Eastern Canada. I do a bit of photography, and am an amateur radio operator. The Bay of Fundy is my playground. I use Pentax gear mainly, except for the odd phone picture. All images are my own. I am a happy Linux user.

A couple of things that rasp my posterior on Mastodon.....: NOTIFICATIONS! When I have notifications and if i click it, I get "FILTERED" Notifications as well as other notifications. On other platforms eg Fecebook, notifications are shown under the post. And if someone replies to something I post it gets lost in my stream............... other than that i love Mastodon

A late submission for
Fuffers likes to join me in the Man Cave /Ham Shack on Saturday nights. She likes to sprawl out on the "green chair" that I listen to music on, although on Saturday evenings I am usually at one of my desks programming radios or working on one of my Linux boxes.

@dgoodwin This looks a lot like Victoria Park in Truro.

@TrueBlue4THREE It truly was, although too many tourists for me. I hope to return again on a quieter time and explore deeper. Thank-you kind Friend.

From a visit to Nova Scotia nearly ten years ago.
Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, is famous for its iconic waterfront view of three picturesque churches, colorful Victorian homes, charming artisan shops, and maritime history, especially its shipbuilding past. It's known as a beautiful small town, popular for sailing, kayaking in its islands, and exploring galleries, unique boutiques, and delicious local eateries, making it a beloved Canadian tourist destination. image

An image of a harbor with three churches near the shoreline. There is a small red boat fastened to a small wharf mid image. The foreground has many Queen Anne's lace flowers nestled in and peeking above green vegetation consisting of small bushes and tall grasses. The sky is dark blue with white clouds smeared across its surface. The image was made at Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.

A late afternoon image of a sunset captured from the Nova Scotia side of the New Brunswick / Nova Scotia provincial border. There is a highway lane and railroad tracks in the forground and several wind turbines stand out against the cold winter sky.The setting sun casts an amber glow across the sky covered in light clouds and a light snow cover blankets the landscape.

@tippitiwichet Your art is your own and always special. Your style reminds me of my daughter who is an artist who teases with many mediums in her work. Blessings to you my Friend.

@chadhill.bsky.social I love all my Pentax cameras and equipment. I have vintage and (fairly) modern gear.

I've been kind of stepping back from social media lately, not leaving, just backing up a few steps. Here is my submission for . Nothing too dramatic, just needed to get the camera out and disturb the dust. The sky as seen from my back deck, as most will be. Have a blessed weekend all.

Another late submission for portraying Fuffers sleeping in her favorite place when she is not on the green chair in my Man Cave / Ham Shack in the basement.

A fluffy ginger cat napping on a bed with a homemade quilt with chickens and some pillows in the background with various ferns and butterflies on them.

A late submission for
Paws in her usual spot (from a couple weeks ago)

An image with an orange and white girl kitty taking it easy on her favorite rocking chair piled high with a cat bed and a homemade blanket. There is Christmas decor in the background to the right with some angels and part of a nativity scene on a royale blue drop cloth.

Was digging under my desk tonight and found this old Supreme 333 Analyzer. Eventually it will be cleaned up and have a beautiful dark panel and the wood treated and waxed. After that it will be tested and parts replaced if necessary. I have no use for it so will be dragged to a local ham radio flea market next fall. I will post an image after it is detailed. It will be pretty.

Finally a guest in the mancave tonight, but she refuses to look at the camera, just gets comfy in the "green chair", the chair at the other end of my mancave where I sit and listen to music (mostly from vinyl) with speakers on all four corners. Rosemary and Ivy are here with me, but they are robust plants up in my window to the south and do not add to any conversation. But i do solitary very well. And as I was typing this, Fuffers got up and came to visit me at this computer.

Molly Mac enjoying a crisp morning (She loves the cold).

A winter scene with a mixed woods of birch, fir, pine, spruce and a few other trees. There is a clearing in front with an old wagon wheel marking the border between woods and  yard. There are rays of morning sunshine sneaking through the trees and making shadows on the snow on the yard. There is a golden brown dog in the foreground looking at something off to her left.
