Saturday Farmer's Market

It is apparent that...
1.) We missed the Annapolis Royal Saturday Farmer's Market's very much the last two weekends, and

Scott’s Bay Beach: Great Egret

Chris and I went for a beach walk. 




Chris spotted this egret in the March behind the beach. 
Yup, in this photo. 

This little Sasquatch is the photo zoomed in. 


And this is what it looks like




Tea and Fog

A nice morning back in the valley. We are stopping our journey here on Blomidon. There’s cows in the back yard of the BnB. 

And there’s Blomidon.

Gull Point Trail

All the rain lately made this a very mucky hike. We turned around after about half an hour of soggy feet.

There were some cool sights. A snake, a frog and some pitcher plants in flower. 


We made it as far as Harris Beach. Took a

On leaving the fortress we walked the dog and looked back. 






Gabarus Cape Breton

A beach day!

The colours of the sea wrack and cobbles were just perfect in the morning light. 

The clouds came. 

Chris covers an old school lobster trap for the yard. This one was pretty intact and this too heavy with the concrete weights in it.

The front gate. An outfit of the era. 


The latrine hat


It was a grey day so the pub was a welcome find. 




And the construction was something. 

Timbre frame with mortise and tenon joints. 



Fortress Louisburg Lunch

We made it to Fortress Louisbourg for lunch. Lovely.

Storm Flowers

I had cut some flowers yesterday but not enough! I had to work until 9pm and it was dark and tired.

Kitty Cat Visitor

We are fostering a young male Tabby Cat who was named Gregory and we have dubbed Gris Gris.  Phonetically spelled Gree Gree for those who have forgotten ALL of your elementary school French.
