Whale watching trips on fishing boats also include bird watching and bird feeding! Our captain provided chum to attract the birds and this is what happened. Herring Gulls from all over New Brunswick (or so it seemed) arrived, along with Greater, Manx and Sooty Shearwaters. The smaller shearwaters had the sense to stay out of the way, but the Greater Shearwaters got in on the action.
You can see that they watched us as carefully as we watched them, waiting for the next food arrival :)
Grand Manan, New Brunswick. July 2013.
Grand Manan has a rich maritime history. By 1851, most of the island’s population of 1,200 was involved in the working waterfront; men fished and women pickled and cured herring. Innovative fishing and seaweed harvesting techniques were developed, including weir fishing, torch fishing, and lobster fishing, with the introduction of lobster traps in 1870.
The island’s fishing industry changed with the end of smoked herring in the late 20th century, but it still lives in lobstering, scalloping, weir fishing, dulse harvesting, and pen salmon aquaculture. (Island Institute)

Grand Falls is a town located in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada. Grand Falls is situated on the Saint John River. The town derives its name from a waterfall created by a series of rock ledges over which the river drops 23 metres.
We found this old convent on the way to Shediac and it had lovely outside chapels scattered over the grounds.
Finally got out for some photos. I have been busy learning loads of Irish tunes on the banjo.
Took my son and daughter to see The Rocks to inspect the cave-ins that happened this past winter and spring. Quite a lot of erosion going on, to say the least. I liked the way the sun hit this rock.
Views of the Saint John River when driving the old route of the Trans Canada Highway always gave us photographic thrills and on to Cape Breton for even more. These days we drive on the new TCH, a four-lane all the way, and we arrive at our destination the quicker. But we miss these views.
The title is a steal from "And Quiet Flows The Don" by Mikhail Sholokhov, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965. Written in the early part of the 20th century, it depicts the lives and struggles of the Don Cossacks during WW I, the Russian Revolution, and the Civil War.
This photo is a digital copy of one I took in the early nineties with a Nikon FE with Kodak colour film.
