Revolutionary War Battle

It's May, 1775, and the British are under siege in Boston.  Twenty thousand colonials have surrounded the city.  But we do know how things worked out.

Some re-enactors were up in Newbury at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm today, demonstrating an imaginary battle that never happened up here on the North Shore.  The colonials were in their tents, and the tricky Red Coats surprised them.  Armed with cannon and overwhelming numbers, the regular British army out flanked and out gunned the Minutemen.

Here are some photos.

Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia

One of the first stops on my Canadian Maritimes trip was to the quaint village of Peggy's Cove.  Blue sky, sea, rocks, fishing boats, lobster traps;  yes, the whole nautical them was present and pretty as a picture.

Anne of Green Gables

I recently returned from a trip to the  Canadian Maritimes and took lots of photos.  My favorite place was the Green Gables House in Cavendish on Prince Edward Island.
