Here is another photo of Nara from my shoot last week. I'm sure she's a bundle of, among other things, joy. I hope you're getting some sleep, mama.

Last Friday's visit to the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta in Sussex, New Brunswick was followed by a quick visit to the funfair that night. Pictured here is a Round Up rotating its riders. It was just before this picture was taken that I was ambushed by a young woman who had clearly been stalking me. After a small scuffle, some 'encouraged' fingerprinting, and a quick call to CSIS HQ, it turned out she was my first cousin once removed (if I've read this chart correctly). I guess it should have been obvious who she was; she was identical to my cousin (her mother) in almost every respect from looks to attitude... but I suppose that's also the reason why I didn't hesitate to contact the authorities in the first place.
Last weekend started with a visit to the city of Sussex, New Brunswick for their annual Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta. As you can see from the picture above, the weather conditions were favorable and so almost thirty hot-air balloons (and their human payloads) ascended gracefully into the dusty, blue sky of a lazy friday evening using the fuel from hundreds of cheering voices, faith, and a large, controlled flame.
No web log is complete without ample lizard pics. This iguana was sunning herself on a rock when I got off a boat tour in Costa Rica. She posed happily (as you can see from her expression) while I got my fill of images. Like I've always said, I always appreciate a cooperative iguana!
"Once located in the belfry of Notre Dame d’Assumption Church in Beaubassin, the bell dates from 1734. Made of solid bronze and weighing approximately 300 pounds, it was cast at the naval foundry in Rochefort, France. In 1770 Beaubassin was destroyed; however, the bell was rescued and may be seen today in the museum at Fort Beauséjour."
