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)

Happy Fence Friday
Sunset over Saint Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. The moored boat is the Thunderbolt, that I captured in several other photos, including one on her way into port.
We found this old convent on the way to Shediac and it had lovely outside chapels scattered over the grounds.
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.
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.
In a golden sunset, an AC is in charge of a small eastbound train 408, as they split the signals crossing the border from New Brunswick into Nova Scotia. I was standing on the Nova Scotia side, at Fort Lawrence.
It doesnt happen very often, but in this instance, I was able to get multiple shots of the exact same train, at the same location, even using the same lens.
Here are the other two shots:
Although similar, each photo has a different scene, and feel to it. Well, it does to me anyway..

A group of fishing boats moored far from shore, in deeper water, at low tide. St. Andrews-By-The-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada.

Boxers are large, muscular, square-headed dogs who look imposing — that is, until you look into their eyes and see the mischief and joy of life reflected there. Because of their playful nature and boundless energy, they are sometimes called the "Peter Pan" of the dog breeds. Boxers aren't considered fully mature until they are three years old, meaning they have one of the longest puppyhoods in the world of dogs. The typical Boxer is intelligent, alert, and fearless, yet friendly. He's loyal to his family and loves to play with them, but he's also headstrong, especially if you try to use harsh training methods with him. With minimal grooming needs and legendary patience and gentleness with children, Boxers are great family companions, as long as you provide them with the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need.
A foggy morning departure from St. Andrews-By-The-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada. Foggy or not departure for the fleet depends on the tides. If you miss high tide you're stuck in Port for 6 hours until the next tide.
