Jumping in Lake Placid

Today Barry and I took some time off from camp and went to a large horse show that comes to Lake Placid every summer.  I've never been to a horse show before but I've read lots about them and it was awesome to get to see one in person.  Here's a few shots I took :)







I messed up on a few and cut off the rider's heads, but later, upon editing, I thought it looked cool so... :)

Destination: Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

Twelve days ago, I got married.  (Don't worry, wedding pictures will be forthcoming).  And then we went to Canada.  As you might imagine, I was quite preoccupied so the camera wasn't out much but here are some pictures I took during our time there.  :)

The little cabin in which we stayed.  'Twas amazing!



Awesome inside cooking fireplace :)

We spent some time kayaking along the coast

Took some awesome hikes, bushwacks, and explorations...



Drove around small fishing villages.  This was in Cheticamp, a french town on the western shore of Cape Breton.

Baddeck dock:

Explored the Highland National Park...


Drove up to the northernmost accessible point, Meat cove.




A storm was rolling in...

This little guy stayed put for a looong time!  :)

My favorite part:



It was grand.  We lived simply, we cooked, slept a lot, spent time outdoors, and most of all, had the most relaxed, amazing honeymoon ever :)
