Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Halifax NS. At the entry we are reminded what becomes of naught sailors and pirate types. The gulls like to clean up.

This is taxidermy. Dunno about the fella beneath...

Thursday. Anything can happen on a Thursday. Anything can happen on a week in which a Thursday sits. Like missing posts. Tsk...



Here's a post to make up for it.

Last of the cicada piccies, I promise. Not a great photo, perhaps, but I just liked the crazy angle and varied focus.

Horror of horrors - yesterday was missed - the first post missed in three and a half years!!! I was shocked, I was horrored, I was dismayed beyond words dear fans... it came about due to travel to see family and getting distracted by such matters. I know you will forgive - and may not even have noticed.

I therefore post this SUNday post late... and number as it would be had things not skipped and shall endeavor not to let this happen again!

The sun shines down on the Princes Street Gardens Floral Clock, Edinburgh. Tempus fugit and all that...
