With a light rain falling, I set out on Sunday afternoon to see what photo opportunities I could find. I love overcast lighting with a bit of rain.
First stop was Ashburne Farm where the light rain and the mist falling down from North Mountain provided a real moody picture of this typical Nova Scotia vineyard. I was a bit worried about the rain on my new Canon but it seems to have survived.
Next was a trip over North Mountain to Black Rock harbour to check out the lighthouse. It was not photo-worthy this day but some driftwood tossed up on the beach during one of our winter Nor'easters provided a nice still subject study. I love the difference the low contrast lighting makes to the wood - you can see the shading and the textures in the wood far better in this overcast light.
On the way back out I spotted some folk-art woodwork. So, I stopped and shot this wonderful mermaid posing on the lawn of a sea-side house. While I was down on my knees composing this shot, a man came out and asked me if I'd like to see more inside.
Well, much to my surprise there on the wicker sofa was my new girlfriend! What a babe!

PS: I've tried 10 times to get the pictures uploaded but this BUSY SERVER issue is getting real ugly! :worried:
PPS: Finally - at 7:25 this morning!
