Description

We've been to Peggy's Cove dozens of times, usually to spend time wandering over the amazing seashore of huge granite rocks left by the glaciers of the last Ice Age. The tiny fishing village in Nova Scotia, Canada, is a little bit of history which is world-famous and draws thousands of tourists every year. Heavy fog and mist are often present,as it was this day, because the Atlantic Ocean pulls no favorites to please visitors, but this was the first time I saw a family trundling over the rocky landscape with a baby in a stroller. The title just seemed so appropriate.They were well prepared for the weather, but I could imagine the rocky ride the baby had, as you might be able to tell by looking at the background terrain.
But apparently they were having a good time and that was all that mattered.

A little about me:
My name is Janet but I go by Jann, and I am originally from Ontario, Canada and have lived on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, since 1985.
I love the seacoast and mountains, so many of my photos are from British Columbia, Alberta, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. My main photo themes are sea, coastal,villages, people, portraits, mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, flowers, nature,wildlife, birds, animals, landscapes, sunsets, and the great National Parks of Canada such as Jasper,Banff, Waterton, Cape Breton Highlands, Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay,Mt. Robson, Strathcona and others.

In the art world, I was initially trained as a Commercial Artist and Illustrator and eventually explored many other methods of art/style as well as other mediums. I work in pencil, ink, acrylics, watercolor and oil pastels. I have also enjoyed mosaic design and application, floor murals, wall murals, collapsible screens, floor cloths, graphic design. Explored sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, hand painted furniture, refinishing old frames with gold leaf or faux finishes, interior design and interior decorating.
……….
With the advent of digital cameras I came to really enjoy photography both as an artistic expression as well as a foundation for capturing interesting and exciting compositions to be painted later.
………
My recent creative endeavour was graduating from a certified Cosmetology Program (hairstylist and esthetics) in March 2009.
