As I boarded the plane in Vancouver, Canada heading for Incheon, South Korea, I checked my iPhone one last time and found this week’s photo challenge in my inbox: perfect timing. I am so grateful to have been able to see Canada from this perspective. Above northern British Columbia, Canada – August 26, 2011 Byongchan’s [...]

On August 15 (National Acadian Day), Acadians in the Maritimes get together to make a collective clamor we like to call the Tintamarre. This August 15 I took part in the Tintamarre with many other Acadians from Clare, NS despite the rainy weather. Even my husband was able to enjoy his first Tintamarre. We had [...]
On Thursday we visited the 1605 French settlement, Port Royal in Nova Scotia. It felt good to get back to my roots. Here is the entrance to the habitation.

Heading out to the Clare Golf & Country Club to watch my mother and husband play their first round of golf together, I imagined I would simply record their swings and putts with my new Panasonic Lumix LX5. I was pleasantly surprised by the broken theme we discovered here. Even a curious squirrel joined in the photography!
The severe thunderstorm that struck our region on August 2, 2011 caused quite a few trees to break and fall. Thank you Mother Nature for creating beauty out of chaos! Watch my 56 second video of the storm at this blog post, Saulnierville, Nova Scotia’s 13 Hour Lightening Show.
But for now, please enjoy the broken scenes.

When I began the “broken” photo challenge I must admit I was highly doubtful I’d be able to find something pleasing to the eye. Who knew that a short trip to the Meteghan Wharf (Quai de Meteghan) would bring such beautifully broken scenes. Sadly — yet fortunate for this photo shoot — even a broken winged seagull graced us with its presence.

I feel grateful…
…for my husband’s willingness to support me while we are visiting home in Clare, NS.
…for my family’s love and hospitality, which I seem to measure in time, space and energy.
…for our friends who are taking care of our two dogs, 앵두 and 삼순, in 대한민국 (South Korea).
…for my 시어머니 (mother-in-law) who is watching our garden and home.
…for the month and a half summer vacation that Keimyung University gives me.
I don’t use the following expression much, but there is no other way to describe this feeling: I feel truly blessed.
Thank you.
Yesterday (August 2, 2011), Nova Scotia was hit with an unprecedented thunder and lightning storm. Still recovering from jet lag from my trip to Nova Scotia from South Korea, I woke up at 3am to the sound of rumbling, and to flashes of light in the night sky. This lasted until 4pm that afternoon in Saulnierville, NS. This was a special gift from nature for a Nova Scotia visitor.
(I edited the previous post due to a crucial misspelling :P Lesson learned. I apologize for the repeat post.)
