Clam Harbour Beach

A fantastic beach day! We really enjoyed ourselves. 

Scapa gallivanted all over. The smells were intoxicating to me. 

The beach is splendid. 

Taylor’s Head Provincial Park

A drive today to a Provincial Park I’d never seen. I figured on a weekday in the midweek it would be quiet. It was surprisingly busy. Particularly with almost all the trails closed due to storm damage (which to my irritation was not noted on the website). It was still lovely. Chris says his favourite beach, and it is lovely. 

We did a short trail. 

With great views for our picnic. In the woods was a perfect pirate’s hidong place. 

Martinique Beach

A nice late afternoon walk on my childhood beach. Scapa loved it!

There was a lovely flock of piping plovers. Like water skeeters on the shore. 

And I got too much sun!

The plovers again. 

Camouflage for Ukraine: Jessica Lynn Wiebe

Also at the NS Gallery is an experience- you can go and participate in creating a pair of camouflage nets to support Ukrainian troops. You are also invited to share your thoughts in a book that the Canadian ambassador will bring to Ukraine with the nets. The artist is Jessica Lynn Wiebe, a retired Canadian service member. Her work includes pieces that reflect on her war time experience in Afghanistan. I really enjoyed talking to her. I’ll be looking for more of her works. 

That’s Chris with the 2 nets in foreground and background. 

Summer camo. 

Maude Lewis’ House

We visited the art gallery of NS this morning. Now we are going to have to visit the location of Maude Lewis’ house just near Digby. Her entire tiny home fist inside a moderately sized gallery. 

Chris admired the wooden eaves troughs. And the art!

Tancook Beach Combing

We spent a lovely hour this morning beach combing on big Tancook island.

Tancook Folk Art

The place we rented has a lovely little trail through the brush with bits of folk art in it. 

Wave under boat. 

Briar birds nest. 

Very attractive to Labradors. 

The bell rings. 

Duck!

Don’t hide your light under a bush.
