For the first time in five years, I went back to Canada. My family owns a house up there—one that my great-great-grandfather built in the 1860's. It's on a little island off the coast of Cape Breton. Everything about it is beautiful.
694 Lower Road, Arichat: our back yard. Literally.

The Cap Auget lighthouse.
Blowing in the ever-present wind.
Right as I took this, my dad threw a rock at me.  He didn't miss.
Lighting candles.
White.
Growing on the rocks.
The fog rolls in.
Five smooth stones.
Sitting on the windowsill. 
Sunset on Little Anse.
Canada is rather green.
The view I had while painting the deck.
"Wait, the light will come." A back staircase in the church that my ancestors attended.

The breathtaking view on Little Anse. 
I believe we named this "Kidney Beach." :) 
Tulips. 
Lots of "grasses" on the island.
Irises.
An "artsy" shot of our house.
I kind of liked these tulips.  
Lonely little sailboat. 
Rustic.
Quote of the week: "do you like rocks?"
Greenness.
Writer's paradise.
Favorite shot of the trip.





It was a good trip. I can't wait to go back. Oh yeah, we have a website! Check us out at: http://www.flydesignstudio.com/arichat/home.html

Oh, Canada
