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.
A Visit to Cape Forchu, Nova Scotia
Our First Snow
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.
Joggins Fossil Cliffs, Nova Scotia
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 […]
Entering Nova Scotia
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.
Visiting St. Martin’s
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 […]
More Pictures of the Whales
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.
The Tail of a Humpback Whale
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 […]
Great Blue Heron
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.
Brown Thrasher
At first, we thought that something was wrong with this bird. I believe it is a brown thrasher, and it was “anting”. The thrasher is lying on the ground, and letting ants climb on it. Apparently the ants crawl between its feathers and skin. It stretched out its wings, and acted like it was having […]
Merganzer – Killbear Provincial Park
When we were in Killbear Provincial Park a few weeks ago, we saw a common merganzer swimming in Georgian Bay and then later saw another one lying on the beach. When she moved we were able to see her chicks. Life is interesting.
