WILDLIFE OF NOVA SCOTIA

Last updated January 29, 2001: In the Animals section, a new picture of a posing white-tailed deer, taken this summer in my backyard. More updates are coming. Enjoy!

This webpage is presented by a Russian-Canadian and her family, who have lived in Nova Scotia for five years, and have loved Nature their entire lives. I believe that taking pictures is fun, but it's more enjoyable to show the beauty of the world to other people, who might otherwise miss it!

"If you missed the blossoms of the Lily-of-the-Valley in May, you may have missed them by a year. If you missed the nightingale's song at twilight, you may have missed it by your entire life!"

Although the author of this page is a professional biologist, there are no scientific descriptions accompanying these images - instead they are humorous, insightful and expressive. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Nature of the Atlantic Provinces of Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, collectively known as the Maritimes)! But please, no littering...

	ANIMALS - This section is a photo gallery of many wild furry, feathered, four-legged (and not), creatures that live, run, hunt, fly and swim in the Maritimes. Click on the adorable baby seal to the left to see the photo gallery of the Animals of the Maritimes.

	ANIMATIONS - This section consists of my mini-subpages using javascript to bring various images of the Atlantic Provinces to life on your computer screen. This Java effect is a new, refreshing use of the old Lake applet, designed to please your eyes and calm your soul with beautiful images of this land.
	ARTWORK - When you click on the painted Trillium to the left, you will come to a small page which features some of my watercolour artwork of various plants in this area.
	HALIFAX - the city that some might call the urban heart of the Maritimes. Click on the picture on the left, and you will see a few photos of this beautiful harbour city, taken from the water and from the air, at different times of the day.
