When I looked back, I saw that there were 7 swans here last winter. We seem to see some swans each year now. I believe all of these are trumpeter swans. They were too far away for me to see if there were any tundra swans in there or not. It also doesn’t look like […]
The pileated woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in Canada. It’s name “pileated” means “capped”. It is nearly the size of a crow. This one is a female. The males look similar except that they have a red stripe on the cheek, that looks a bit like a moustache. We often see the results of a […]
We were able to go to Yarmouth this past year. We had tried to do this 4 years ago, but had to turn back because of a hurricane, so this was especially nice for us.
We have snow now. It has been beautiful – even though it means snow shoveling for people, and more dangerous driving conditions. It brightens the scenery, and is much nicer than the “grayness” we’ve had for awhile. These are some pictures along our road.
The tide was in when we were at Joggins, but we were able to see the cliffs anyway. We just couldn’t walk along the beach below them. This is a UNEXCO World Heritage Site that has 15 km of coastline along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. Many of the boulders and rocks along […]
I like the welcome you get when you go into Nova Scotia from New Brunswick. It is a beautiful spot, and they are very helpful there.
St. Martin’s, New Brunswick is one of our favourite spots in New Brunswick. We were here 4 years ago, but wanted to visit again. It was quite foggy while we were there this fall, but lovely. We were able to camp in a similar spot to where we were 4 years ago – looking out […]
Here are some more pictures of the humpback whales. We enjoyed our time on the fishing boat – it is used for tourism in the summer, and for lobster in off-season for tourists. It was very foggy, but we were able to get out to where the whales were.
We recently enjoyed a trip to Nova Scotia. While we were there, we camped in Digby and went on a boat trip out into the mouth of the Bay of Fundy to look for whales. It was a very foggy day, but we were able to see a couple of humpback whales. They came up […]
It was a beautiful, foggy morning on our lake and river today. As I was coming around a bend in the river, I spotted a great blue heron. Even though we have them on our lake, we don’t get the opportunity to see them up close very often. This one was very accommodating.
