Cabot Trail, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada
I’ve decided to do a breakaway and take a different road. I’m quitting the Wordless Wednesday theme.
Ah, don’t be sad. It’s all good! I love the idea of a weekly post that features a gallery-type photo that I want to share with my readers. It’s a regular task that helps to hone my skills. I also love to publish an easy, quick post, without a lot of writing effort.
But sometimes I have a few words that really need to be said about my image. And there’s also a desire for me to be an individual, without relying upon an established blogging meme.
I briefly contemplated some clever names for this new, weekly enterprise. But I kept ruling out anything complex or with cheesy undertones. Though my photography may be complex, I’m a simple kind of gal.
So forget the hype. My new weekly theme will simply be called Photo of the Week. It will be published on Wednesdays. Why Wednesdays, you ask? Well, why not? That schedule has worked well for me, and I think most folks need a little boost of eye candy or inspiration mid-week.
So there you go. I hope you enjoy…
Ah, the beautiful Cabot Trail. It's been 30 years since I've seen it and it's only a long day's drive away. Another vacation spot for my bucket list. When hubby retires. This is a beautiful photo Donna. There is mystery and a gorgeous view around every turn, even in the fog. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThe Cabot Trail is one that I have heard about all my life...literally. I have never seen it. My grandparents would say to be certain that when traveling it to be on the inside lane as I believe you are. I'm pretty sure that I would be an "inside lane" gal myself. Your photo is magnificent as always. I hope that the fog lifted that day so you could see even more.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I love traveling mountain roads. And I should join you on Wednesdays. I have some special photos I save....and then forget to post! lol Enjoy your day. I put a texture on the first photo of my post today. What have you started?
ReplyDeleteAhhh... Nova Scotia. Someday I will go there. My ancestors come from there.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to your posting "the Photo of the Week", this one is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I certainly do enjoy that gorgeous photo! I'd love to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! As always. I enjoy your wonderful photos no matter what you call them! Keep them coming, my friend.

ReplyDeleteSounds great, Donna. I too like to have the WORDS of explanation with a photo --so your new idea is GREAT.... Eye candy in the middle of the week is GREAT...
ReplyDeleteLove your Cabot Trail photo... Hope we get there someday!
Hugs,

Sounds good to me since I am and probably never will be a good follower! :D I have a quote on one wall in my studio that says, "In a world where you can be anything... BE YOURSELF!" Fits pretty well into my life :D And that photo takes my breath away while reminding me of how much I love Nova Scotia when I got the chance to visit it up close and personal :D

well I like that idea and I like this shot. A very scenic road to travel. I wonder what's just around that bend
ReplyDeleteYour photo's are great anyday of the week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place - but admit I haven't returned since there in the 1960's. It rained the entire time so the landscape was definitely misty, I do recall that!
ReplyDeleteMy mailbox brought beauty today Donna - thank you so much. Will be in touch soon.
Hugs - Mary

ReplyDeleteCabot's Trail is such a lovely place.
Your phto captures it's Fall beauty!
I like the new road your on Donna. I haven't been to Cabot's Trail so I'm loving your beautiful view. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI remember the Cabot Trail well on our trip out east. The scenery just took our breath away. I've only done a couple of WW without linking to a meme and like you feel some words would be nice to go along with it. Not a lot, just what I feel I want to share.
ReplyDeleteI've heard and read about the Cabot Trail and hope, one day, to visit it. Meanwhile, your beautiful photo lets me enjoy the view from my couch!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the photo AND the new Idea of Photo of the Week! Your shots are Always gorgeous Miz Donna! How's Jim doing? Let him know we love him and am still praying hard!!!
ReplyDelete(((HUG)))
Is that a painting or a photo? It's hard to tell. Whichever, it is a beautiful scene
ReplyDeleteIt's a photo, but not a very tack-sharp one, that's for sure! I took it while trapped on a moving tour bus that would NOT stop, at all costs. And I was seated a good 3' from the windshield. So if it looks a little bit "painterly," let's just say that I planned it like that, LOL!
DeleteIt planned it well then Donna. Looks like a high quality oil painting
Deleteyou are right ..no words can describe the beauty here... have a good day dear friend.
