Spending a day away from social media yesterday was cathartic and refreshing. I should do it more often.

A beach scene. Three chairs are on the left of the image, sitting on a red sand beach. The ocean is lapping at the beach on the right of the frame. The sky is overcast and the clouds are spreading across the sky in a fan shape.

This little one spent 20 minutes checking us out. It wandered toward us, eventually standing just inches from our feet. It must have fallen from a nearby tree but there was no sign of the parents. It eventually headed off, walking down one of the paths until it was out of sight. #birds #wildlife

It felt great to travel without a camera, to enjoy the experience without worrying about the photography. It was also nice to be too busy to bother with social media for a while.

Tree swallows. The long side is only 800 pixels so image may not look good if viewed too large. #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #photography

Two tree swallows perched on a dead tree. The higher one has its beak open as if talking to the lower one.

Does anyone know if you can prevent or block this Instagram prompt? It appears under posts from people I follow so it seems rather pointless. Of course I’m interested, that’s why I follow them 🤦🏻

Bought a couple books today. Christopher Pratt is one of my favourite painters. This is the second book I have on him and his art. The other book, “Your Inner Fish” by Neil Shubin, was picked after seeing others talk recommend it here on BlueSky. Looking forward to reading both.

Two books placed on a flannel blanket. On the left is a paperback copy of “Your Inner Fish” by Neil Shubin. On the right is a copy of “Places I Go” by the artist Christopher Pratt.

Now reading… I mostly read history with a little science thrown into the mix, so this is nice for a change. Really enjoying it. @officialmelbrooks.bsky.social is an icon and a treasure. #books #autobiography #biography #MelBrooks

A CAMERA ON THE BANKS: Frederick William Wallace and the Fishermen of Nova Scotia

by M. BROOK TAYLOR

From the summer of 1911. It seems little has changed in 114 years. An excerpt from the book “A Camera on the Banks.”

From page 43 of the book “A Camera on the Banks.” The text refers to conversations recorded during the summer of 1911.

The men told him tales, tall and otherwise, of fast ships and big catches, and engaged in heated political debates about the upcoming federal election, which centred on the issue of free trade. When they exhausted these topics, the men retailed scandals of the first families of the county, "the skeletons being dragged out of the cupboards and literally kicked around the decks."
