We don't have that cicada type in Maine, I miss it!

Enjoying the view from Passe-Pierre, within the Saguenay Fjord National Park! After this brief stop we'll set sail and visit a magnificent waterfall. #Quebec #Canada #sailing #outside #parks #photography

A much closer look at the classic wooden #sailboat and her owners Alan and his wife Jane, my wife's cousins, in Tadoussac, #Quebec. They always treat us to a sail on the Saguenay each visit! #Canada #outside #photography

It does have a centerboard, as to length 20 feet or so? It's an old boat, but beautifully maintained.

It was! Looking forward to my 5th visit!

Must be the same Richard White Ford from Pennsylvania that I worked with during my Sierra Club days.

Having an interest, caring, and appreciating Nature top knowing the name. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet! 😊

I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out. My wife's four cousins live there.

#Sailing up the Saguenay to Passe-Pierre! This is a spit of land and a section of the Sentier du Fjord trail within the Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay. It's known for its stunning views. A great trip on a classic wooden sailboat owned by my wife's cousin! #Quebec #Canada #outside #photography

The Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre in Tadoussac, #Quebec. Fantastic displays, including entire skeletons of #whales in various lifelike poses. Looking out over the water we saw belugas too! #Canada #photography

I almost missed it. Greta, my German Shepherd noticed it flopping on the ground among the ferns. So much of what we see in Nature is a chance encounter!

Thank you! I don't know enough about them to say for sure, but the wings and coloring look vibrant. I've seen others that looked old. Perhaps this was its first day?

I saw this Polyphemus #moth in #Maine, during my morning walk. Named after the Cyclops in Homer's Odyssey, it's larger than your hand and the adult lives only a few days. #outside #insects #photography

I have echinacea within the deer fenced area behind the pole. 😊

I saw beluga #whales every day during my Tadoussac #Quebec vacation. Look towards water and soon the familiar white forms would surface. Unfortunately I was never close enough for good photos. We were too early for krill and baleen whales. The pics are from past visits. #Canada #photography #outside

We're fortunate to have seen whales during past visits looking down at the bay from the house. Beluga and minke. Hopefully again this year!

We've seen whales every visit, like these beluga and minke. Hopefully this week too!

Overlooking Tadoussac Bay and the St. Lawrence in #Quebec #Canada. What a view from my wife's cousin's cottage! We are vacationing here for a week. #sunset #outside #photography

The deed is done. The trumpet vine has been cut down and a replacement pole installed. 😔
