The ravages of “Irene” the hurricane and tropical storm that crossed eastern United States were evident, particularly in Vermont. Stopping to photograph wasn’t easy with lots of road and bridge repair along with removal of mud and trees. We encountered rain and fog. The colour of the hillsides was spectacular with yellows, orange red and greens.
THE MARITIMES: HALIFAX
Our next adventure was in Halifax. We parked our van in Stephen Patterson’s driveway. We spent time with photography friends. We on a club field trip with Joyce Chew our CAPA representative in the area.
We went to commercial wild blueberry fields, very different from the berries in BC. We also attended a Nova Scotia Photo Guild selection of images for a PSA competition and an evening evaluation session. We really enjoyed the hospitality.

We spent a couple of days of photography with Steve and learned some new techniques for trees.You can see Stephen Patterson’s work on his website.
THE MARITIMES: SHAMPERS BLUFF
We stopped in New Brunswick to visit with Freeman Patterson. He shared ideas with us and spent time showing us some of his recent work. What a treat! He told us about his fantastic trips to Africa, what an experience that would be. Do check out Freeman’s website.

We stayed the night in our RV and photographed morning fog on the river and then went to the bog area behind his house and took pictures there. We went to the Kingston community weekly market. There was a variety of craft work, ethnic food and baking. There was just enough time to take a few portraits before leaving for Boston.
