Thanks very much Irene !
To answer your question, it's a Canon 400mm 5.6
And, you really should go to Perce if you ever have a chance. I go just about every year and never get bored of it.

Thanks Phil, I'm looking into some ways of traveling..driving down, flying (not so much) or train..so far we are liking the driving down along the coast line that way we can stop where we want and when we want (or need to)
wow a 400? very nice! Hubby just fixed my tripod so now it swivels woohoo...much easier to handle and rotate where I need it.
I'm trying to get away from using my 500 as a hand held...LOL! and to use the tripod more... :)

The last photo is really amazing! I love the soft texture in the water reflection.
