If you’ve ever wondered why busloads of tourists from Western Canada arrive in Eastern Canada every fall … well, here’s why.
The East has something the West will never have: vibrant fall colours that make anyone from 3 to 103 go WOW!
I was back in New Brunswick in October 2018 and snapped photos, lots of them, of Mother Nature strutting her stuff. Here are two dozen or so.
Scroll down to see some shots of Campbellton and Sugarloaf Mountain, Atholville, Tide Head, McLeods, Dundee, Beresford, Riverview and Moncton.

Pingback: The Spies Who Decked Me, by Byron Christopher - Easton Spectator
Hey Byron,
I’ve read several stories from this blog and see the broad array of people you interact with within the process as a writer (almost like how a hair dresser or therapist relates to a variety of different people) and have a question:
I was wondering what book(s) you could reccomend to ‘think like a journalist’ ‘think clearer while writing’ etc. ?
I also think a YouTube channel would be cool (provided the people you talk to would agree to be on camera-if not you could still discuss stories and ideas from time to time independently or even have guests in like a podcast style if not live on the street with them like what Joe Rogan does on his podcasts).
Thanks

CG, I can’t think of any books offhand — but there are textbooks used in broadcast and print journalism classes that deal with writing styles, etc.
The BBC and the CBC have very good style guides. They help point reporters in the right direction … keep things simple and easy to understand. One sentence, one thought … and so on.
Good writing is often code for rewriting. Write and edit until you’re happy with it, then edit some more.
