Sleepy Cove mine
Spider on crackerberry
Red admirable
Bachelor's buttons
Harbinger
The moon on my street
Tomato
Truck's arse at a light.
Not a bumblebee
This year's first dahlia's arse-side
Some bug in the ragwort
Fly visiting
Another sign
Hornet moth
Syrphid flies
Probably a miner
The least loved butterfly?
Not as carefully focussed as I should have done
Young gull gone early
They were just passing by
Some butterfly, some fly
Outside our window
Smells like Scotch whisky
Portent
Eastern tiger swallowtail
Chives on the table
Eagle
Peak rhodo
Partial scowlery
Marvel
Our neighbourhood's friendliest starling
Same bird, different pose
Starling with peanut
Singer
At Mr Mundy's Pond
Three-week fogs
Not the usual view
Guest in the sink
Carpenter
Stitched fog
Peak
Crow pondering
First picture on neglected roll
Yellow wahbluh

Better late than never
This statue has been nearly a quarter century in the woods at Boyd's Cove. It's a twenty-minute brisk walk from the nearest road, so one must walk through the woods and birds and flies to see it, as it were, in the flesh. That physical fact adds to its weight when you do see it. And it's a weighty, moving piece of art. It, she, stands a good six feet tall and I, a tall man, looked eye-to-eye at her.
The piece is called The Spirit of the Beothuk and was made by commission to the archaeological interpretation site there by Gerry Squires. When Gerry died eight years ago, some of his ashes were scattered at the site. His work and he himself are there.
I've been meaning to go there for the twenty-four years since the statue was placed there. I'm glad I finally did so.
