Just posted a whack of pictures from my trip to the East Coast to my Flickr site.
Here are a few of my favourites.

From my buddy T.J.’s wedding:
Dragged kicking and screaming ... not

Outside the wedding venue … a giant fiddle:

I’ve never seen an eagle this close up before!

Here’s another shot from my mini-photowalk in Montreal.
